Nathan Smith Clinches ICC Men's Player Of The Month Award For June 2026
Nathan Smith: New Zealand seamer Nathan Smith was on Monday named the ICC Men's Player of the Month for June 2026 following his superb performances during the 2-1 Test series victory over England.
Smith, 27, played a pivotal role in New Zealand’s historic Test series triumph on English soil by picking 16 scalps at an average of 23. With several frontline New Zealand quicks sidelined due to injuries, Smith remarkably stepped up to lead a depleted bowling attack and delivered under pressure.
The Kiwi pacer claimed the prestigious monthly honour ahead of fellow nominees, India captain Shubman Gill and Bangladesh all-rounder Mossadek Hossain. “This is really special. It was a great tour of England for the boys, and this is pretty cool. I don’t usually play for individual awards, but it’s nice to receive this recognition and, more importantly, to have contributed to a series win.
