Zimbabwe’s rising star Brian Bennett has been nominated for the ICC Men’s Player of the Month for September following a phenomenal run of form that lit up the international stage.
Bennett was in sensational touch throughout the month, amassing 497 runs in nine T20 internationals at an impressive average of 55.22 and a blistering strike rate of 165.66. His performances stood out across multiple series, including dominant displays against Sri Lanka and Namibia, where he topped the run charts with a mix of power, precision, and maturity beyond his years.
Carrying that form into the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Regional Final, Bennett continued to shine, producing scores of 72, 65, and a majestic 111 in his first three innings. His consistency and clean ball striking were instrumental in guiding Zimbabwe to qualification for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
This nomination marks another milestone in Bennett’s rapidly rising career — a fitting reward for a player who has quickly become one of the Chevrons’ most reliable and explosive match-winners.
