Cricket South Africa (CSA) is excited to announce that the highly-anticipated annual CSA Awards will be held on July 7 at Vodaworld, Midrand, in what will be a proud celebration of an extraordinary ‘summer of cricket’.
The event will see the return of an in-person award show for the first time in three years, and a theme of A Summer to Celebrate aims to incorporate the most memorable elements of the past season that included numerous successes on and off the field.
The awards will celebrate the strides made to achieve CSA’s vision and mission of excellence, access, and inclusion.
In addition, they will reward the prodigious sports talents who helped make this possible through their inspiring performances from the grassroots level through to the professional stage.
Numerous event activations and special performances are planned to make the awards an unforgettable and effervescent event that will also serve as a thank-you to the millions of South Africans who proudly and passionately displayed their enduring love for the game this past season.
This was particularly evident during the 2022/23 season as the Proteas Women momentously progressed to the final of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in SA, which drew record attendance and viewership figures.
This historic campaign followed in the wake of SA also hosting the first-ever ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup, with both tournaments undoubtedly serving to inspire the next generation of cricket stars.
Meanwhile, the Proteas Men welcomed the dawn of a new era under dual coaches Shukri Conrad and Rob Walter.
Off the field, the past 12 months have also represented a fruitful period of progress and purpose for Cricket South Africa, as highlighted when CSA walked away with the illustrious National Federation of the Year Award at the Annual SA Sports Awards in March.
With all this in mind, there will be so much to celebrate from a summer of cricket that truly ‘brought the heat’.
The Amateur Awards will be held throughout the morning on July 7, while a special gala dinner will take place later that night to celebrate the nominees and winners of the Professional Awards.
More than 30 awards categories have been confirmed for the two sets of awards, with the nominees – who will soon be announced – having been decided by a high-profile judging panel of experts.
As part of the build-up to the special awards day, an annual invitational golf day will also be held on July 6 as special guests are welcomed to celebrate a season that proudly focused on making cricket in South Africa the most accessible, inclusive, and globally competitive sport.
