Tuesday, 13 June 2023
Leaving behind Pakistan's Babar Azam and Bangladesh's Najmul Hossain Shanto, Ireland's batter Harry Tector bagged the International Cricket Council (ICC) Player of the Month Award for May 2023, according to Pakistan television channel Geo Tv.
Tector proved his mettle in a recently concluded One-Day International (ODI) series against Bangladesh, scoring his career-best 140 off merely 113 balls to help Ireland post a big total in the first ODI of three-match series.
The middle-order batter came to the pitch at number four when his team was struggling at 16-2 in the 7th over. However, by the time of his dismissal at the end of the 42nd over, he had turned the contest around, scoring 45 from 48 balls in the third ODI against Bangladesh.
