Cricket South Africa (CSA) today announced the shortlist for the 2021/22 CSA Awards.
Aimed at recognizing leading men and women on the national and international fronts, the virtual awards ceremony will take place on Sunday, August 14, 2022 at 7:00 pm and will be telecast on SuperSport Cricket (Channel 212).
This season the CSA welcomed a new two division first grade system with fifteen teams; which replaced the franchise system. The new structure allowed first and second division teams to compete in the CSA T20 Knockout Competition; and also compete for the four-day CSA series and the one-day CSA domestic cup in their respective divisions. Division One teams also played in the CSA T20 Challenge at the Managed Event Environment (MEE) in Gkeberha.
The 2021/22 season also saw a minimal return to normality, with limited attendances allowed at matches across the country.
The national teams continued to make their mark at international level, with a season of dominance and tremendous growth for the Proteas.
The Proteas Test team finished the season without losing a series. They defeated the West Indies in their own backyard, drew against New Zealand in New Zealand before securing wins over India and Bangladesh in South Africa. The Test team also moved to the top spot in the World Test Championship rankings.
ODI and T20 teams are back in the conversation. Having won four out of five matches in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, the Proteas have won the entire T20 series – against the West Indies, Ireland and Sri Lanka. After that, they defeated India in their ODI series at home, losing only one series – against Bangladesh and drawing against Ireland.
The Momentum Proteas had another great year as they finished the season unbeaten in the One Day International series, including wins at home (2-1) and away (4-1) against the West Indies.
The 2021/2022 season culminated in an exciting ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in New Zealand. They made it to a thrilling semi-final and retained their second place in the ICC Women’s ODI rankings.
Last season the focus was on 50-over cricket, with the Proteas Women playing just one series in the shorter format against a team from the Caribbean, drawing 1-1.
This year’s CSA Awards jury members included Jeremy Fredericks (Convenor), Natalie Germanos, Krystle Arnold, Lungani Zama, Stuart Hess and Clinton Du Preez.
CSA Chief Executive Officer Folezi Moseki said:
“It is a great honor and privilege to congratulate all the nominees for the 2021/22 CSA Award.
“It is a time when we celebrate the achievements of our men and women and a platform that nurtures talent to ensure that our stars can grow and excel in the game.
“Our teams have really shown that they are among the best in world cricket. Through these prestigious awards, the CSA wishes to honor and celebrate each and every individual who has been at the heart of making this season the smashing success it has been.”

South Africa’s national cricket weeks are back this season following the lifting of restrictions in the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Under-16 tournament was held in Tshwane, the Under-16 girls tournament in Gkeberha, the Under-19 girls tournament in Parla and the Under-19 Haj Majola Week in Potchefstroom. The Countryside Weeks were divided into two sides, inland and coastal teams, and a South African Countryside team selected from the best performers from both tournaments.
CSA Hubs, Blind Cricket, Community Cup and Deaf Cricket are also some of the tournaments that have resumed this season.
The CSA Women’s Provincial Leagues have moved to home and away after the first round was played in a bio-safe environment (BSE) in Johannesburg.
With changes to the professional structure of the CSA game, this year marks the first season in which women from the province have signed semi-professional contracts as the CSA continues to promote women’s cricket.
CSA Acting Head of Cricket Pathways, Edward Khoza, said:
“This is an exciting time for the CSA and its members as we celebrate the performances of various role players along the way.
“We acknowledge the dedication and commitment shown by all recipients in achieving their respective individual recognition.
“I would like to take this opportunity to commend you on this latest success, which ensures that the future destiny of cricket in South Africa, thanks to his illustrious journey, is in good hands.”
