Gudakesh Motie And Chamari Athapaththu Win ICC Player Of The Month Awards For May 2024
Shaheen Shah Afridi: West Indies’ left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie won the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award, while Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu secured her second ICC Women’s Player of the Month when she won the top prize for her performances in May 2024. Motie claimed the Men’s award by beating competition from Pakistan’s Shaheen Shah Afridi and Lorcan Tucker of Ireland, while Chamari won the women’s award by overcoming Scotland’s Kathryn Bryce and England’s Sophie Ecclestone.
In May, Motie took eight wickets at an average of 8.50 across the three-match series against South Africa in Jamaica, as the West Indies gathered valuable momentum in the lead-up to their Men’s T20 World Cup campaign at home.
Defending a score of 175 in the first contest, Motie played a pivotal part in restricting South Africa’s middle-order charge, with his 3-25 including the prized wicket of the dangerous Rassie van der Dussen. With a higher total to defend in the second match, the Guyanese once again hampered a promising South African run chase with career-best figures of 3-22.
