adminJOHANNESBURG. — AB de Villiers and Dale Steyn head the list of nominees for the 2013 Cricket South Africa professional awards to be announced at a banquet in Johannesburg on Wednesday, June 4 2014.
The Proteas ODI captain and the world’s leading test match bowler are two of the five nominees for the main award — the South African Cricketer of the Year.
The other nominees are Test and ODI batsmen, Hashim Amla and JP Duminy, and ODI wicketkeeper/batsman, Quinton de Kock.
De Villiers has also been nominated for the Castle Lager test Cricketer of the Year award and the Castle Lager One-Day International Cricketer of the Year.
Steyn has also been nominated for Test Cricketer of the Year, the Blue Label Telecoms T20 International Cricketer of the Year and the KFC So Good Award and remarkably has all three nominations for the RAM Delivery of the Year.
None of De Villiers, Duminy and De Kock has previously being named South African Cricketer of the Year so there could well be a first-time winner of CSA’s most prestigious award.
De Kock and Duminy also have two nominations each as the former has been nominated for the Castle Lager One-Day International Cricketer of the Year and the latter for the Blue Label Telecoms T20 International Cricketer of the Year. — SuperSport.
