Marco Jansen and Laura Wolvaardt were crowned as the SA Men’s and Women’s Players of the Year, respectively, at the CSA Awards in Midrand last night.
First-time recipient Jansen was recognised for his all-round efforts in a season that saw the 24-year-old go from strength to strength as a key member of the Proteas’ 2023 World Cup squad and notable contributions in the Test arena.
Wolvaardt, who took the reins as captain of the Proteas Women this past season, collected five awards, including the Women’s T20I Player of the Year, ODI Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year. She was also voted the Fans’ Player of the Year. This is the second time the 25-year-old has won the Women’s Player of the Year award, after doing so in 2020.
Elsewhere in the men’s international categories, WP batsman David Bedingham scooped the SA Newcomer of the Year and Test Player of the Year awards. Reeza Hendricks was named the T20I Player of the Year, while Quinton de Kock received the ODI Player of the Year award in his final 50-over season with the Proteas. Keshav Maharaj was voted by his peers as the Players’ Player of the Year.
Eliz-Mari Marx earned herself the SA International Women’s Newcomer of the Year award.
Lions spinner Nqaba Peter was named both the Men’s Domestic Newcomer Player of the Season and T20 Challenge Player of the Season. Lions all-rounder Wiaan Mulder was awarded the 4-Day Domestic Player of the Season and WP all-rounder Mihlali Mpongwana the One-Day Cup Player of the Season.
