Lynch was a hard-hitting batsman, an occasional off-spin bowler and a fine slip fielder. Lynch played in the County Championship for Surrey between 1977 and 1994, and for Gloucestershire from 1995 to 1998.

Lynch played one season for Guyana in the 1982–83 Shell Shield 4-day competition. He also played for the unofficial West Indies team on the rebel tour of South Africa the following season.

Monte Lynch was picked for England and played in three One Day Internationals versus the West Indies in 1988, but after scores of 0, 2 and 6 he was not picked again.[3]

Since retiring from first-class cricket he has continued to play club cricket in Surrey and started his own sporting goods company, MAL Skills. He was the cricket coach at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford,[4] and then the coach of the Southern Rocks cricket team in Zimbabwe.[5]
