Proteas captain Temba Bavuma also featured prominently on the night, scooping the Test Player of the Year and the SA Fans' Player of the Year awards. Recently retired Heinrich Klaasen, who was a standout performer in 50-over cricket, walked away with the ODI Player of the Year, while pace bowler Anrich Nortje claimed the T20I Player of the Year title. In the women's categories, Nonkululeko Mlaba was the big winner, taking home both the Player of the Year and T20I Player of the Year awards.

Proteas Women stars set to be crowned at Emperors Palace
Proteas Women's spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba has been nominated in five categories in the upcoming CSA Awards. Picture: BackpagePix The Cricket South Africa Awards are all set to be a grand affair at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg on Thursday evening. The attention will undoubtedly be on the Proteas Men's Test side after their marvellous achievement in winning the World Test Championship final at Lord's last month, and in the process breaking South Africa's 27-year drought without a major ICC trophy. The WTC Final heroes will no doubt be lauded and afforded the much-deserved plaudits. However, it is fast forgotten that the Proteas Women's team had come perilously close to winning an ICC tournament themselves, after reaching a successive ICC Women's T20 World Cup final towards the end of last year. While Laura Wolvaardt's team were just not able to get over the line against New Zealand in the UAE, there were some outstanding performances by her team throughout the tournament and also across the other formats over the past calendar year.

She is up for Women's T20I Player of the Year, Women's ODI Player of the Year and Women's Player of the Year. In addition, she could win Delivery of the Year (for which she has two nominations) and SA Fans' Player of the Year.
