Some excellent performances by Proteas Women all-rounder Chloé Tryon have seen her named as the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for May 2025.
The South African cricketer had a memorable tour of Sri Lanka as she scored 176 runs at a strike rate of 131.34 in three ODI’s and took six wickets in the three-team tournament in Colombo that also featured India.
Tryon had scores of 67 (against India), 35 and 74 (against Sri Lanka) but the highlight was a haul of five for 34 against Sri Lanka which included a hat-trick.
“I probably didn’t expect this award, but I see it as a great achievement. I’ve been trying to find consistency for a while, so I’m happy that it finally came together in Sri Lanka,” she said.
“Hopefully, I can build on those performances and help the team through the big year ahead. We’ve got a World Cup at the end of the year, so I’m hoping to continue being consistent for the team.”
“I am really happy at my five-wicket effort and the hat-trick. I was pretty tired most of the time, but I’m happy to have achieved that. You always want to add those milestones to your memories as a cricketer.”
“I’m glad I finally got to tick that off my list. It’s still a bit of a blur, to be honest. I think the team carried me throughout that day. I was a little bit sick, so that didn’t really help much.”
“But everything came together, and I’m just really happy that I could perform and help the team win.”
Meanwhile, West Indies captain Hayley Matthews and India batter Jemimah Rodrigues were the others shortlisted for the monthly award this time.
