The International Cricket Council (ICC) has today revealed the ICC Men’s and Women’s Players of the Month for March 2025 as Shreyas Iyer of India and Georgia Voll of Australia.
Iyer wins his second ICC Men’s Player of the Month award after leading India’s runscoring charts and starring in the latter stages of their historic ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 triumph.
Voll meanwhile celebrates her maiden ICC Women’s Player of the Month crown, securing the accolade after explosive batting exploits in Australia’s victorious T20I sweep of New Zealand.
Iyer overcomes New Zealand duo Jacob Duffy and Rachin Ravindra to win the men’s award, with Voll seeing off compatriot Annabel Sutherland and the USA’s Chetnaa Prasad in the women’s category.
Both wins extend Player of the Month winning streaks for their respective nations – Iyer makes it successive honours for India following Shubman Gill’s win in February, and Voll becomes the fourth consecutive Australian female to be named the Women’s Player of the Month.
Both players were crowned following a vote conducted among global fans registered at icc-cricket.com and a specialist panel comprising ICC Hall of Famers, former international players, and media representatives.
With 172 runs coming at an average of 57.33 during the final three games of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025, Iyer was a leading light for India as they secured a landmark third win in the competition’s history.
As the tournament approached its business end, the top-order batter first struck a match-winning 79 in 98 balls to ensure India came out on top in their final group stage match against New Zealand.
A vital 45 runs in partnership with Virat Kohli then helped India navigate a challenging semi-final against Australia, before he once again laid the foundations for a successful run chase in the breathless final against New Zealand, hitting a controlled 48 in 62 balls which saw them knock off 252 for victory amid joyous scenes under the lights in Dubai.
ICC Men’s Player of the Month for March, Shreyas Iyer, said: “I’m truly honored to be named the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for March. This recognition is incredibly special, especially in a month where we lifted the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy — a moment I will cherish forever.
“Being able to contribute to India’s success on such a big stage is something every cricketer dreams of. I’m grateful to my teammates, coaches, and support staff for their unwavering support and belief.
“A heartfelt thank you to the fans as well — your energy and encouragement keep us going every step of the way.”
ICC Women’s Player of the Month Voll only made her international debut back in December, yet she has already given a glimpse of her potential on the world stage.
March’s contests against rivals New Zealand witnessed an explosive array of strokes by the 21-year-old and she wasted no time in grabbing the headlines, smashing her maiden T20I half-century in just 30 balls in the opening match in Auckland as Australia capably chased down 138 for victory.
She followed that up with 36 more runs in Mount Maunganui before a Player of the Match-winning performance in Wellington – the opener striking 75 runs in 57 balls to ensure a commanding series sweep over the T20 World Cup champions.
ICC Women’s Player of the Month for March, Georgia Voll said: “Winning this award is certainly a nice way to cap off what’s been an incredible summer for myself and the team.
“To go to New Zealand and claim that T20 series against the World Champions was the perfect way to end the season. It’s been a whirlwind first summer in the Australian side and I’m excited for what next season holds.”

Twins takeaways: Joe Ryan’s poise, Carlos Correa’s hitting and more from 5-1 homestand
MINNEAPOLIS — There was a moment during Joe Ryan’s brilliant seven-inning performance Sunday, his fastball blowing hitters away, when everything could have gone sideways.Facing Los Angeles Angels hitter Logan O’Hoppe with a man on second and two outs in the fourth inning, Ryan threw a perfect 3-2 fastball at the bottom of the strike zone.AdvertisementRyan wasn’t rewarded for his accuracy by home plate umpire Nate Tomlinson, who called it a ball. Missed calls seem to frequently occur when Ryan pitches and they’ve previously led to him getting off track, as was the case in an April 20 Twins loss in Atlanta.But in the middle of his 11-strikeout showing Sunday, Ryan didn’t visibly react to his misfortune. He instead refocused, and with the help of catcher Ryan Jeffers, needed only three pitches to escape the inning with a strikeout of Travis […]
Chevron Championship: Mao Saigo wins 5-woman playoff for first major title
The Chevron Championship reserved all the drama until its final moments.Mao Saigo, a 23-year-old from Japan, emerged from a five-woman playoff — the largest in LPGA major championship history — to win not only her first major, but her first LPGA tournament.It seemed very unlikely that Saigo, the 2024 LPGA Rookie of the Year, would have a chance to win when she had two holes to play — Ariya Jutanugarn had a one-shot lead on the par-5 18th and was playing her third shot out of the rough above the green. A quick chipping motion resulted in her striking the ball and barely moving it, maybe an inch; Jutanugarn remained over the ball and quickly hit again, but the original swing counted as a stroke. She missed a 15-foot par putt, dropped to 7-under, and created the playoff. Hyo Joo Kim […]
Bahia vence no Allianz Parque, tira invencibilidade do Palmeiras
O gol solitário de Kayky, já nos acréscimos do segundo tempo, encerrou uma longa sequência de invencibilidade do Verdão e marcou a primeira vitória do Esquadrão fora de casa nesta edição da competição. A partida começou com equilíbrio. O primeiro tempo foi marcado por muita disputa no meio-campo e poucas chances claras de gol para ambos os lados. O Bahia apostava em saídas rápidas com Ademir e Erick Pulga pelas pontas, principalmente Pulga, que travou duelos intensos com Giay pelo lado direito da defesa palmeirense. PUBLICIDADE PUBLICIDADE Na volta do intervalo, o técnico Abel Ferreira promoveu mudanças ofensivas, o que fez o Palmeiras dominar as ações na etapa final. A pressão alviverde resultou em boas oportunidades, sendo a mais clara delas com Vitor Roque, que finalizou com perigo dentro da área, mas viu Erick salvar o gol praticamente em cima […]
