Miller KZN’s big winner at cricket awards

PROTEAS and Hollywoodbets Dolphins batsman David Miller was awarded the Standard Bank T20 International Cricketer of the Year award at the 2019 Cricket South Africa Awards on the weekend.

Miller was in fine form for the Proteas during the T20I season where he averaged 36 with a top score of 65 not out against Pakistan at the Wanderers.

The 30 year old will continue to be a vital cog in the Proteas T20 side as the team looks forward to the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup in Australia under new management.

Also among the awards were two young cricketers from KZN Inland, Michael Booth and Wesley Madhivere.

CEO of KZN Cricket Heinrich Strydom was full of praise for the cricketers from KZN that received awards. “It’s great to see players from KZN being rewarded for hard work and good performance. Dave (Miller) has become such an important part of the national limited overs teams and we hope that he can continue the good form both for the national side and the Hollywoodbets Dolphins,” Strydom said.

In addition to the awards won by the various players, KZN Cricket fared well on the annual CSA Scorecard that ranks all of the affiliate unions in a number of different criteria.

Consolidating from their previous seasons efforts the union placed third overall in the incentive results, which includes a shared first place in the governance and strategic focus categories.

In terms of the operational scorecard results KZNCU finished on top in terms of the management of club cricket and provincial academies.
