Prabath Jayasuriya and Emma Lamb will be awarded the ICC Player of the Month for July.
The 30-year-old left-arm spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya, who won a Test debut in the second Test match against Australia recently, won the ICC Player of the Month award for July by the International Cricket Council.
Sri Lankan spinner Prabhat Jayasuriya won the ICC Player of the Month award after defeating England’s great batsman Jonny Bairstow and France’s rising batsman Gustave McCain who was nominated for the ICC Player of the Month for July.
In the second Test match against Australia, Sri Lanka was able to win the match by an innings and 39 runs and end the series in a draw as Prabath took six wickets for 118 runs in the first innings and six wickets for 59 runs in the second innings.
In the first test match against Pakistan, he managed to take five wickets in the first innings, equaling a world record. And due to the fact that he did not get one more wicket in the second innings, he missed the chance of being the only player who took five wickets in the first four innings. However, he managed to take nine wickets for 217 runs in the two innings in that match.
However, in the second Test match against Pakistan, he took three wickets for 80 runs in the first innings and took five wickets for 117 runs in the second innings, which helped Sri Lanka win by 246 runs.
When asked about this victory, he did not forget to express his gratitude to his fans, teammates, and coaches as well as his family and everyone who supported him for this.
Prabhat Jayasuriya has so far taken 29 wickets in three Test matches and two ODIs. Also, England’s emerging all-rounder Emma Lamb was named the ICC player of the month in July by passing England player Nat Sciver and Indian fast bowler Renuka Singh.
