The ICC Men’s Player of the Month for March 2024 has been announced.

Sri Lanka’s rising star Kamindu Mendis clinching the title. Mendis triumphed over tough competition from Ireland’s Mark Adair and New Zealand’s Matt Henry. This achievement marks Mendis as the third Sri Lankan player to win this prestigious award, following in the footsteps of Prabath Jayasuriya and Wanindu Hasaranga. Mendis sees this accolade as a significant boost for his international cricket career, expressing his gratitude and determination to excel further. He also extends his best wishes to his fellow nominees, recognizing their talent and competitive spirit. Making a remarkable comeback to the Sri Lankan team after last appearing in 2022, Mendis showcased his prowess with notable performances throughout the month. Starting with a solid contribution of 68 runs in the T20 series against Bangladesh, he truly shone in the Test format, achieving centuries in both innings of the first Test against the same opponents. Notably, his partnership with Dhananjaya de Silva rescued Sri Lanka from a precarious situation, highlighting Mendis’s invaluable contribution to the team.
