T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka all-rounder Dunith Wellalage has been crowned the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for August 2024 following his exceptional all-round performances against India.

The 21-year-old left-arm spinner and battter outshone South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj and West Indies’ Jayden Seales to claim the prestigious award.

Wellalage’s contributions were instrumental in Sri Lanka’s historic ODI series victory over India, their first bilateral series win against the cricketing giants since 1997.
