The ICC represents 111 members across the cricketing world. For July, its top male and female performers are both Barbadian.

Congratulations to Hayley Matthews (@MyNameIs_Hayley), ICC Women’s Player of the Month for a record fifth time, and Justin Greaves (@JustinGreaves94), who has earned his first ICC Men’s Player of the Month award.

Sport is culture. It is national identity. It tells the world who we are. Our size has never been the measure of our strength, nor the limit of our influence.

Hayley and Justin, thank you for making us proud and carrying Barbados with distinction. True global citizens with Bajan roots.
