Mendis has led the spin attack, taking a total of 20 wickets and scoring vital runs in the eight games in May. This included a standout performance against Warwickshire in the Royal London One-Day Cup, where he hit a quick-fire 44 off 23 balls to see Derbyshire to victory.

With many variations to his leg spin, Mendis picked up eight wickets in the Specsavers County Championship fixture against Leicestershire, a vital performance in securing a draw.
