Easterns Cricket’s Tristan van Schalkwyk, Mpumelelo Mashiloane and Madison Landsman have been nominated for their age group’s player of the tournament in the amateur category ahead of the 2021/22 Cricket South Africa awards.
Van Schalkwyk, from Alberton, and Mashiloane, from Kwa-Thema, received nods in the U16 boys and girls category following tournaments held in Pretoria and Gqebera, respectively, in December.
Mashiloane’s competition in her category is Humaira Ebrahim from North West and Boland’s Anelmari van Niekerk. Van Schalkwyk has been nominated alongside Boland’s Riley Norton and Juan Viljoen from Free State.
Landsman earned her nomination following a successful U19 girls’ tournament in Paarl, also in December, where she captained Easterns Ladies. She was also among the tournament’s leading wicket-takers and run scorers.
