United Arab Emirates (UAE) captain Muhammad Waseem has been named the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for May 2025, marking the second time he has received this prestigious honor.

Waseem, a stylish and consistent opening batter, previously won the award in April 2024.

For the May award, Waseem was shortlisted alongside Brandon McMullen of Scotland and Milind Kumar from the United States, but his standout performances with the bat led him to clinch the title once again.

This recognition by the International Cricket Council (ICC) highlights Waseem’s growing impact in international cricket, especially in the shorter formats, as he continues to shine for the UAE on the global stage.
