Hendricks has claimed the award for the past two years and enjoyed another fruitful 12 months by topping the charts with 440 runs at an average of 29.33 at a strike-rate of 136.64. It included a spectacular career-best 117 against Pakistan at Centurion. Tristan Stubbs is likely to be the main contender to unseat Hendricks with 266 runs at an average of 38.0 and strike-rate of 147.77. T20 specialists Quinton de Kock and Anrich Nortje are also among the contenders along with seamer Ottniel Baartman, who enjoyed a brilliant T20 World Cup in the USA and Caribbean last year. Meanwhile, the ODI Player of the Year award will also be hotly contested between Ryan Rickelton, Heinrich Klaasen and Lizaad Williams. After debuting against the West Indies back in 2023 already, Rickelton was given an extended run over the past 12 months in the Proteas ODI team.

Dewald Brevis, another emerging talent who featured in all three formats in Zimbabwe, is included in both white-ball squads. Key players such as Ryan Rickelton, Tristan Stubbs, Corbin Bosch, Nandre Burger, Lungi Ngidi, and Kagiso Rabada feature in both squads, underlining South Africa's intention to strengthen its white-ball depth ahead of major ICC tournaments.
