The International Cricket Council (ICC) today announced the latest players in contention to win the Women’s Player of the Month awards following a blockbuster month of action in March.
The ICC Women’s Player of the Month shortlist is dominated by some of the most exciting young talent in international cricket, with an Australian batter/all-rounder combination and a prolific wicket-taker from the USA honored.
The USA earned a spot in the next stage of qualification for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 and one of the architects of their success at the Americas Qualifier, Chetnaa Prasad, aims to become the first American to win the coveted accolade after important wickets in their campaign. Elsewhere in the running for the award are Georgia Voll and Annabel Sutherland, both of whom starring with bat and ball in Australia’s impressive T20I series success in New Zealand last month.
An independent ICC Voting Academy and fans around the world will now be invited to cast their votes to decide the winners, which will be announced next week. Fans are now able to vote for their favorite performers at icc-cricket.com/awards.
ICC Women’s Player of the Month Nominees for March:
Chetnaa Prasad (USA)
The 19-year-old was a driving force as the USA stormed to Americas Qualifier success in March, first by taking four wickets against Brazil and more importantly, recording her best international figures of four for 5 and winning the Player of the Match prize as they overcame Canada in the winner-takes-all matchup on the final day in Buenos Aires.
Annabel Sutherland (AUS)
The two-time ICC Women’s Player of the Month has enjoyed an extended period of excellence in recent times, and while her previous wins came thanks to her batting brilliance, in March it was her bowling prowess that stole the headlines. Climbing to a career best rating of 736 in the Women’s T20I Bowling Rankings in the process, the 23-year-old lit up the series against New Zealand with four wickets for 8 runs in the second match and four for 35 in the third and final encounter to secure the series sweep over their rivals.
Georgia Voll (AUS)
Having made her international debut less than six months ago, Voll is already making a name for herself, and in March the 21-year-old struck two brisk half-centuries in Australia’s 3-0 T20I series win over New Zealand. Chasing down 138 for victory in double quick time in the Auckland opener, Voll smashed her maiden fifty in T20Is in just 30 balls at the top of the order. 36 More runs followed in Mount Maunganui before she hit 75 in 57 balls in the third and final match, helping Australia seal the whitewash with an eight-run win in Wellington.
