CWI President, GCB applaud Motie on Player-of-the-Month Award

Both the Cricket West Indies (CWI) President, Dr Kishore Shallow and the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) have voiced their congratulations for Guyanese spinner Gudakesh Motie, on his recent International Cricket Council (ICC) Player-of-the-Month Award for May.
The local entity shared, “The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) showered praise upon Guyana/West Indies left-arm spinner and ICC Player of the Month, Gudakesh Motie, following his recent achievements.
“Motie recently became the second player from the West Indies to be given the ICC Men’s Player-of-the- Month Award.

“Guyanese fast bowler Shamar Joseph won the ICC Men’s Player-of-the-Month Award a few months back, following his historic performance in the Test series victory over Australia.
“Motie eclipsed Pakistan pacer Shaheen Afridi and Ireland’s Lorcan Tucker to win the award.
“The Guyanese grabbed eight wickets from three matches versus South Africa at an average of 8.50, copping the series’ MVP award.
“GCB Executive Members and President Bissoondyal Singh recently cheered their player on as he continues to impress on the international stage while making personal strides in his career.
“The Board executives congratulated Motie for his continued role in the success of the Guyana Harpy Eagles team and the West Indies across the respective formats.
“Meanwhile, Motie and company’s performances have reflected, as the West Indies T20 men’s team now sit number three in the ICC World rankings; the highest in almost a decade.”
In reacting to Motie’s award, CWI President Shallow expressed his pride and congratulations. “Gudakesh has shown tremendous skill and dedication, and this award is a well-deserved recognition of his efforts. His performances have been instrumental in our recent successes and have brought great pride to our team and fans.”
President Shallow also highlighted the broader impact of such achievements on West Indies cricket. “Awards like these not only celebrate individual excellence but also inspire the entire cricketing community in the Caribbean. Gudakesh’s success is a testament to the hard work and potential within our team,” he added.
Reflecting on the earlier success of Joseph, President Shallow remarked, “Having three players win the ICC Men’s Player of the Month award in the same year is a significant milestone for West Indies cricket. It speaks volumes about the talent and determination of our players.”
