Pakistan's left-arm fast-bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi, Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus and UAE skipper Muhammad Waseem have made it to the shortlist for ICC Men's Player of the Month award for April 2024.

Afridi earns the nomination for his wicket-taking endeavours in the side's drawn T20I series against New Zealand at home. Erasmus was a pivotal figure for Namibia as they recorded a notable series victory in Oman.

Waseem, also UAE's opening batter, impressed in his side's run to ACC Premier Cup triumph. Afridi was the primary catalyst for both of Pakistan's victories in the T20Is against New Zealand.
