In the men’s awards category it was Proteas star David Miller who has the potential to be the big winner at the virtual ceremony taking place on 4 July. He has two nominations, firstly in the SA Fans Cricketer of the Year category and then in the important Players’ Player of the Year category.

Dolphins stalwart and off-spinner Prenelan Subrayen has been nominated in Four-Day Franchise Series Player of the Year category.
“After a strong season domestically and solid performances from our international players it’s great to see them being acknowledged for national awards,” CEO of KZN Cricket Heinrich Strydom said. “To have two players in Shabnim (Ismail) and Dave (Miller) being nominated in the Players’ Player of the Year category is a testament to their importance in their respective national teams.
“We had a great white ball campaign and to have two nominations is also a great achievement. Prenelan (Subrayen) was fantastic in our revival in red ball cricket at the start of the year.
“I wish all the nominees all the best of luck for the awards evening,” Strydom added.
