• CSA Awards: All the winners

    Cricket South Africa honoured the country’s various cricketers during Saturday’s CSA Awards function with Quinton de Kock and Laura Wolvaardt the big winners on the night.

    De Kock walked away with the SA Men Players’ Player of the Year, the Standard Bank Test Cricketer of the Year and ultimately the SA Men’s Cricketer of the Year awards, while Wolvaardt, who was a key figure in the Proteas women’s team that reached the semifinal of the T20 World Cup earlier this year, claimed the Momentum Proteas ODI Cricketer of the Year, SA Women’s Players’ Player of the Year and the SA Women’s Cricketer of the Year accolades.

    Other significant winners on the night were Lungi Ngidi, who was rewarded for his brilliant efforts in white-ball cricket by winning the Standard Bank ODI and T20I Cricketer of the Year awards.

    Fast-bowler Anrich Nortje was also inline for the top award but in the end was named the International Men’s Newcomer of the Year for his incredible rise to the international stage in the last 12 months.

    CSA acting CEO Jacques Faul congratulated all the winners from the event as the governing body continues to rebuild its structures after a turbulent year on an administration front.

    ‘Quinny and Laura have set the highest standards that we expect from our icon Proteas players. Quinny is the leading wicketkeeper/batsman in Test cricket and is, in fact, one of the leading batsmen in both red ball and white ball cricket. He is also starting to emerge as an outstanding leader as witnessed by the Proteas clean sweep of Australia in their recent ODI series.

    ‘Laura was named in the tournament select XI at the conclusion of the ICC Women’s World T20 which tells us a great deal about the esteem in which she is held at international level. At the age of 21 her best years are ahead of her and she will be a key player when the Momentum Proteas go to the ICC Women’s World Cup next year.

    ‘It is good to see the number of young players starting to dominate at international level as we move into a new era following the retirement of some of the game’s legends. Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi have ensured that our fast bowling stocks remain among the best in the world,’ Faul said.
