In a statement, the ICC acknowledged Beaumont’s achievement, stating, “England’s experienced opening batter Tammy Beaumont has taken home the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for September 2024, beating out opposition from Ireland teenager Aimee Maguire and UAE all-rounder Esha Oza.”

She also contributed 67 runs across two innings in the subsequent T20I series.
Expressing her gratitude, Beaumont said, “Thank you to everyone who voted for me as ICC Women’s Player of the Month for September. It was a great tour in Ireland with an inexperienced England team, and it was really nice to contribute personally.” She also recognized the efforts of her competitors, congratulating Aimee Maguire and Esha Oza for their performances.
