Cape Town Cricket Club’s Kyle Verreynne, Durbanville Cricket Club’s Pieter Malan and Milnerton Cricket Club’s Mthiwekhaya Nabe have been nominated for Cricket South Africa awards.
Verreynne and Nabe feature in the Domestic Newcomer of the Season category, while Malan is a Momentum One Day Cup Cricketer of the Season nominee, ahead of 2 June 2018’s awards ceremony in Johannesburg.
Cape Cobras wicketkeeper-batsman Verreynne scored 580 runs at an impressive average of 48.33 in the 2017-18 Sunfoil Series, while opening batsman Malan was the leading run-scorer in the Momentum One Day Cup for the same franchise.
Cobras right-armer seamer Nabe took 10, 17 and nine wickets in the Sunfoil Series, Momentum One Day Cup and Ram Slam T20 Challenge, respectively.
“It is my great pleasure and privilege to congratulate all the nominees as we celebrate another successful year of achievement,” said acting CSA chief executive Thabang Moroe.
“As always, these awards are tough to judge due to the stiff nature of the competition. The judging panel was impressed by the overall performances during the season of the nominees in the various categories.
“And let us not forget to thank all those great and selfless people who work diligently behind the scenes to create opportunities for our leading cricketers to excel.”
