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.

Pathirana, Wanindu, Eshan Await Fitness Nod for IPL 2026

Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana, Eshan Malinga, and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga are set to join their respective franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, pending clearance from Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) mandatory fitness tests.

The assessments, scheduled in the coming days, will determine their readiness after injuries kept them out of the ICC T20 World Cup earlier this year. Early signs suggest the players are recovering well, and officials remain optimistic about their participation.

Pathirana, who became the most expensive Sri Lankan player in IPL history after Kolkata Knight Riders secured him for INR 18 crore at the mini-auction, is expected to be a key figure with his death-over bowling expertise. He previously impressed at Chennai Super Kings, earning recognition for his composure under pressure.

While the trio awaits clearance, several Sri Lankan cricketers have already received their No Objection Certificates (NOCs). Kamindu Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Dushmantha Chameera are preparing to join their franchises, with Nissanka heading to Delhi Capitals, Chameera also continuing with Delhi Capitals, and Mendis retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In total, seven Sri Lankan players will feature in IPL 2026, underlining the growing presence of the island nation’s talent in the league.
