India captain Shubman Gill, Bangladesh all‑rounder Mossadek Hossain and New Zealand pacer Nathan Smith have been shortlisted for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award for June. Scotland all‑rounder Kathryn Bryce, India spinner Sree Charani and England opener Danni Wyatt‑Hodge have been named in the women’s shortlist.
Gill earned his place through consistent performances in home Tests and ODIs against Afghanistan. Mossadek was recognised for his contributions with both bat and ball during Bangladesh’s home ODI series win over Australia, while Smith was highlighted for his impact in New Zealand’s Test series triumph in England.
Bryce’s all‑round displays in a home series against Bangladesh and throughout the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup secured her nomination. Charani and Wyatt‑Hodge were shortlisted based on their strong showings in the World Cup.
