Nonkululeko Mlaba was the big winner in the women's categories.


Proteas spinner Keshav Maharaj capped off a memorable season by being named Player of the Year at the CSA Awards in Johannesburg on Thursday night.

Maharaj played a key role in South Africa’s World Test Championship triumph, including the final against Australia at Lord’s, and was rewarded for his consistency and match-winning performances across formats.

Proteas captain Temba Bavuma also featured prominently on the night, scooping the Test Player of the Year and the SA Fans’ Player of the Year awards.

Recently retired Heinrich Klaasen, who was a standout performer in 50-over cricket, walked away with the ODI Player of the Year, while pace bowler Anrich Nortje claimed the T20I Player of the Year title.

In the women’s categories, Nonkululeko Mlaba was the big winner, taking home both the Player of the Year and T20I Player of the Year awards.

All-rounder Annerie Dercksen was named ODI Player of the Year.
