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.

Photo: AFP/File Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Thursday announced the return of Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma to lead the national side on the upcoming white-ball tour of Australia in August. Bavuma, who has been out of action since South Africa's victorious World Test Championship final at Lord's in June due to a hamstring injury, will captain the ODI side. Markram, who was rested for the recent Zimbabwe tour, resumes leadership duties in the T20I format. South Africa's head coach Shukri Conrad expressed his delight over the return of key senior players to the squad ahead of their white-ball tour of Australia, highlighting the importance of their presence as the team looks to build momentum for upcoming global events. "It's great to have our senior players back in the mix after their rest following the WTC Final," said head coach Shukri Conrad. "Their experience and quality add real value to the group as we continue to build a strong core in both formats. Every series from here on helps shape our squads for the T20 World Cup next year and the 2027 ODI World Cup at home," he added. CSA also handed maiden ODI and T20I call-ups to off-spinner Prenelan Subrayen, following his recent Test debut in Zimbabwe and a strong domestic season where he led the Dolphins to the One-Day Cup title in March. Power-hitter Lhuan-dre Pretorius, who impressed in the T20 circuit and made his Test and T20I debuts on the Zimbabwe tour, has earned his first ODI selection. 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. The Proteas will play three T20Is on August 10, 12, and 16, followed by three ODIs on August 19, 22, and 24 in Australia.
