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.

SLC Introduces Strict New Conduct Regulations in Revised Player Contracts

Sri Lanka Cricket is preparing to introduce a revised ethics code for nationally contracted players, marking a significant shift toward a more disciplined and professional national setup. The new framework, which will accompany the upcoming player contracts, is designed not only to regulate behavior but also to restore public confidence in the national team.

At the core of the proposed code are stricter guidelines governing personal interactions during international tours and home series. Players and support staff, including coaches, will be limited to engaging only with spouses or officially recognised partners. This measure aims to reduce external distractions and minimise the risk of undue influence, particularly in an era where concerns around information leaks and inducements remain prevalent.

The code also addresses language and conduct, both on and off the field. The use of obscene or inappropriate language during matches or official engagements will be considered a breach of discipline. Team managers will be granted authority to impose immediate fines, reinforcing accountability within the squad. Officials believe such steps will help cultivate a more respectful and professional team culture.

Social media usage has emerged as another focal point. Players will be prohibited from posting content that could undermine team unity or excessively promote personal branding at the expense of collective identity. The move reflects a growing recognition of the impact digital platforms have on team dynamics and public perception.

In terms of appearance, the new regulations introduce a formal dress and grooming standard. Players will not be allowed to wear ear studs, earrings, or display tattoos while representing the national side. Additionally, casual attire such as shorts and rubber slippers will be banned during visits to cricket board offices, practice sessions, and official tours. These measures are intended to project a consistent image of professionalism and discipline.

Anti-corruption considerations also underpin several aspects of the code. By restricting unauthorised interactions and closely monitoring player conduct, the board aims to safeguard the integrity of the game and prevent potential breaches.

The previous player contracts expired on March 31, and the new agreements, incorporating this ethics code, are expected to be presented soon. With these changes, Sri Lanka Cricket signals a firm commitment to reshaping the culture of the national team and aligning it with modern professional standards.

The player draft for the upcoming season of the Lanka Premier League is expected to take place on 23 May, marking a key step in preparations for Sri Lanka’s flagship domestic T20 tournament.

Initially planned for March, the draft was postponed amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, prompting organisers to shift the timeline. Player registrations are now anticipated to begin shortly after the first week of May.

Despite the scheduling adjustment, organisers have reiterated that the tournament itself will go ahead as planned. The sixth edition of the LPL is scheduled to run from 8 July to 8 August 2026.

Excitement around the league remains strong, with notable international cricketers already signalling their interest in participating in the upcoming season.

Madhawa Bandara Senarath has stepped down from his role as Secretary of Sri Lanka Athletics (SLA), only about a month after assuming office. His resignation was submitted shortly before the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, bringing an abrupt end to his brief tenure.

Sources indicate that internal disagreements within the newly appointed executive committee played a key role in his decision. The dispute is believed to have centered on the selection process for the National Junior Team set to compete at the upcoming Asian Junior Championship.

Sri Lanka Athletics is scheduled to hold its first executive committee meeting after the New Year on April 21. During this meeting, an acting secretary is expected to be appointed to temporarily fill the position. A permanent replacement will later be chosen at a special general meeting.
