ICC World Test Championship: Ireland pacer Mark Adair, New Zealand fast-bowler Matt Henry and Sri Lanka batter Kamindu Mendis have been nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award for March 2024.

England batter Maia Bouchier, Australia’s off-spin all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner, and New Zealand’s leg-spin all-rounder Amelia Kerr are amongst the nominees in the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for the same time period.

Adair featured in all three formats for Ireland in March, making strong contributions in all. However, it was in the longest format where he made his biggest impact, spearheading Ireland to their first ever men’s Test victory with their win over Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi.
