Tector beats Babar to claim the title of Player of the Month for May.

Share

Following impressive ODI cricket performances, a first-time winner of the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award for May 2023 has been announced.

After an outstanding month in May, Harry Tector was chosen as the ICC Men’s Player of the Month. This is Ireland’s first Men’s POTM honour. His opponents included Bangladesh’s young rising batter Najmul Hossain Shanto and Pakistan’s superstar Babar Azam.Despite the unfortunate conclusion to Ireland’s Super League season, 23-year-old Tector persisted in demonstrating why he is the team’s present and future.

Tector roared in the second ODI against Bangladesh to smash a career-best 140 from just 113 balls with seven fours and an astounding 10 sixes after reaching 21 in the first ODI before rain fell in Chelmsford.

Tector’s accomplishments were all the more astounding because when he left the pitch in the seventh over, his team was suffering at 16/2, but by the time he was dismissed at the end of the 42nd, the match had been turned around.

Ireland reached 319 in the 45-over innings because to Tector and George Dockrell (74* from 47 balls), but Bangladesh, partly thanks to fellow nominee Najmul Hossain Shanto, raced away with the victory.
