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.

Bangladesh beat Chamari-less Sri Lanka despite late drama

Published

Bangladesh Women edged out Sri Lanka Women in a tense finish during the first ODI of the Sri Lanka Women’s tour of Bangladesh 2026, chasing down 206 with just nine balls to spare in a match that swung dramatically in the final overs.

Put into bat, Sri Lanka Team posted a competitive 205/9 from their 50 overs, built on steady contributions rather than a single dominant innings. Imesha Dulani (52 off 77) and Hansima Karunaratne (54 off 71) anchored the innings with a crucial middle-order stand after early setbacks. Captain Hasini Perera made a brisk 27, but Sri Lanka struggled to accelerate in the final 10 overs, losing wickets at regular intervals.

Bangladesh’s bowling attack kept things tight throughout. Ritu Moni was the standout performer, claiming 3 for 36 and breaking key partnerships, while Nahida Akter and Marufa Akter maintained pressure with disciplined spells.

In reply, Bangladesh got off to a disastrous start, losing two wickets within the first two overs. However, Sharmin Akhter produced a match-defining innings, scoring a composed 86 off 127 balls to anchor the chase. She found support from Sobhana Mostary, who made 41 before retiring hurt, and later Shorna Akter, whose 35 added momentum in the middle overs.

Despite being in control for much of the chase, Bangladesh nearly stumbled at the finish. A late burst from Sri Lanka’s bowlers saw Dewmi Vihanga pick up three crucial wickets, triggering a collapse that left Bangladesh at 200/7 after being comfortably placed at 199/3.
The match briefly tilted back in Sri Lanka’s favor, but Bangladesh held their nerve. Extras proved decisive, with 21 wides significantly easing the chase. Eventually, Bangladesh crossed the target in 48.3 overs, sealing a hard-fought three-wicket victory.

Sri Lanka will rue their inability to capitalize on key moments, particularly in the death overs with both bat and ball. The absence of star player Chamari Athapaththu was evident, as they lacked the firepower to push their total beyond reach.
