BSS, Dhaka :
Sri Lanka’s seasoned player Angelo Mathews got the reward of his sterling performance in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh by being the ICC Player of the Month for May.
He beat Bangladesh’s batting mainstay Mushfiqur Rahim to be crowned the best for the last month. Both of the batters scored heavily in the last series between the two sides in Bangladesh but like the way Mathews trumped Mushfiqur and Bangladesh to help Sri Lanka win the series by 1-0, he also edged past Mushfiqur to get the reward.
Amassing 344 runs at an average of 172 over the course of the two Tests, Mathews registered a huge score of 199 in the draw at Chattogram, and a supreme 145 not out in Mirpur.
