The International Cricket Council (ICC) has today revealed the ICC Players of the Month for September 2024 as Sri Lanka’s Kamindu Mendis and England’s Tammy Beaumont.
Mendis continued a record-breaking streak in Test cricket during September to win the ICC Men’s Player of the Month, while Beaumont starred in England’s short format success in Ireland to secure the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award.

Both players won their respective accolades for the second time – Mendis having previously won in March 2024, with Beaumont backing up her other previous award in February 2021.

ICC Men’s Player of the Month for September, Kamindu Mendis: “I am honoured to be once again chosen as the ICC Men’s Player of the Month, and this accolade brings me immense happiness and pride, as I believe all the hard work that was put into becoming the player that I am today is starting to pay off and being recognized consistently in the global stage.

“This recognition gives me further strength to continue my good work on the cricketing field and aspire for bigger achievements, thus helping my team win games and bring glory to our country and happiness to our fans.”

Reacting to her award win, ICC Women’s Player of the Month, Tammy Beaumont, said: “Thank you to everyone who voted for me as ICC Women’s Player of the Month for September. It was a great tour in Ireland with an inexperienced England team and it was really nice to contribute personally.

“I saw firsthand how well Aimee Maguire bowled for Ireland and she fully deserved the nomination. Congratulations to Esha Oza too.”
