ICC announced the names of players of the Month for October 2022.
The shortlists for the ICC Sportsperson of the Month Awards were announced today, revealing the best players who have excelled on the international stage throughout the month of October.
The line-up for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month features three superstars from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia. India’s all-rounder Virat Kohli followed up his heroics with the bat, most notably in the win over arch-rivals Pakistan.
South Africa’s David Miller has impressed in the lead-up to the tournament, and his fine form in Australia, including his side’s win over India, has been impressive to secure his place on the shortlist.
Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza completes the line-up and will be looking to reclaim the man-of-the-match award he won in August thanks to a series of man-of-the-match performances in the opening stages of the T20 World Cup.
ICC Women’s Players of the Month, Jemimah Rodrigues and Deepti Sharma have been named in the shortlist after their Asia Cup form for India. Rodriguez finished the tournament as the highest run-scorer while teammate Sharma was named the tournament’s hero and joint-leading wicket-taker.
Nida Dar is the final candidate to claim the award for October as her effortless contributions with bat and ball took Pakistan to the semi-finals of the Asia Women’s Cup.

Tragedy Halts 66th Battle of the Babes in Kandy
The 66th edition of the “Battle of the Babes” big match between St. Sylvester’s College and Vidyartha College was abruptly called off on Wednesday after a tragic road accident claimed the lives of two St. Sylvester’s students.
The incident occurred as the students were on their way to witness the much-anticipated encounter at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. According to police, the motorcycle they were travelling on collided head-on with a bus.
One of the victims, Sachith Karunaratne, died at the scene. The other student, Nethula Nimdinu, was rushed to the Kandy National Hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
The shocking news cast a shadow over the annual fixture, prompting authorities to take swift action. Central Province Governor Sarath Abeykoon reportedly suggested halting the match, after which the principals of both schools jointly agreed to call off the game midway.

St. Sylvester’s College confirmed the untimely deaths, paying tribute to the two students as committed and valued members of their school community.
Meanwhile, Kandy Police have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the fatal accident.
