Three Titans players honoured at Cricket SA top awards virtual event

Three players from the Titans / Northerns Cricket were honoured by Cricket SA last week during the organization's annual awards ceremony, which was presented virtually.

Although several players from the Titans / Northerns’ men’s and women’s teams were among the nominees in different divisions for this year’s Cricket SA awards event, only three of them did receive awards in the end.

Aiden Markram who received nominations under various divisions, was eventually named CSA 4-Day Domestic Series Cricketer of the Season. Markram also shared the award as SA Men Players’ Player of the Year with Proteas fast bowler Anrich Nortje.
