Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj named ICC Player of the Month of August

India pacer Mohammed Siraj of India was on Monday (September 15, 2025) named ICC Player of the Month for August following his heroic effort within the fifth and ultimate Test in opposition to England.

Orla Prendergast of Ireland too was named participant of the month alongside Siraj.

Siraj’s excellent match-winning effort on the ultimate day of the Test collection in opposition to England helped India win The Oval Test match by six runs.

Siraj grabbed three wickets on the dramatic ultimate morning of the fifth match to complete with 9 wickets within the match because the Indian staff drew the collection 2-2.

“It is a particular honour to be named ICC Player of the Month. The Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy was a memorable collection, and it was one of the crucial intense contests I’ve been a part of.

“I am proud that I could contribute with some important spells, especially in the decisive moments. Bowling against a top batting line-up in their home conditions was challenging, but it also brought out the best in me,” mentioned Siraj.

Ireland all-rounder Prendergast received the award forward of Pakistan’s wicketkeeper-batter Muneeba Ali and the Netherlands’ seam bowler Iris Zwilling.

Prendergast was named the Player of the Series in a house T20I collection, serving to win 2-1 in opposition to Pakistan. She scored 144 runs and took 4 wickets in that collection and maintained her nice kind within the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, aggregating 244 runs and ending with seven wickets within the month of August.
