Prodigious Zimbabwe Women all-rounder Kelis Ndhlovu has been named for the International Cricket Council (ICC) Women’s Player of the Month Award for April.

She becomes the second after the current captain of the national side, Mary-Anne Musonda.

Like her captain Ndhlovu was nominated after her debut in ODIs.

In making the announcement, the ICC said of the 17-year-old:

The 17-year old bowler has made an impressive start to her international career, which included appearances at the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 in South Africa. Making her ODI debut for Zimbabwe last month, she adapted well against a strong Thailand outfit, taking 10 wickets at an average of 5.80 despite series defeat. Her highlight came in the first showdown in Bangkok, where Ndhlovu picked up five wickets for 22 runs. Following up with three for 17 and two for 19 in the second and third ODIs respectively, Ndhlovu continues to thrive on the international stage.

Fans registered at icc-cricket.com/awards will be able to vote for their favourite performers until Saturday.

PS: At 17, Ndhlovu becomes the youngest player, male or female to be nominated for the ICC Player of the Month Award.
