In the men’s category, fast bowler Marco Jansen was crowned Men’s Player of the Year for his outstanding performances across formats. Jansen’s key contributions, including his role in South Africa’s Boxing Day Test victory against India and 17 wickets at the 2023 ODI World Cup, made him a standout.
Other notable winners include David Bedingham, who claimed Men’s Test Player of the Year and Men’s Newcomer of the Year for his impressive performances in his debut series against India and New Zealand.
