Ireland’s Harry Tector named ICC Men’s Player of the Month for May 2023
Harry Tector Player of the Month: Two Irish women – Laura Delany and Eimear Richardson – have previously won the women’s equivalent award, but Tector is the first to prevail on the men’s side.
Winning players were selected as :-
Winning players were selected as the standout performers following a vote conducted among a specialist panel comprising ICC Hall of Famers, former international players, and media representatives, and global cricket fans registered at icc-cricket.com, who had been voting since the nominees were announced last week.
Tector has been enjoying a sustained period of good batting form in One-Day International (ODI) cricket dating back to July 2022, and his recent run-scoring feats have seen him shoot up to a highest-ever position of seventh spot in the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s ODI batting rankings.
Responding to the award, Player of the Month Harry Tector said :-
“I’m delighted with the Award and would like to thank those who voted for me. However, cricket is a team sport first-and-foremost, so the Award is more a reflection on the performances and progress of the Ireland Men’s squad. Without the support of Heinrich, Andrew and the dedicated group of coaches and players I work with, I wouldn’t have been able to win this Award.
“While Laura Delany and Eimear Richardson have won the Women’s equivalent. This is the first time an Irish player has picked up the Men’s Award. While a personal privilege, I believe it won’t be too much longer until more Irish players are being reocgnised this way.
