Proteas stars, AB de Villiers, Jacques Kallis and Hashim Amla emerged as the front runners for the Award after online voting, which ran on the Cricket South Africa (CSA) website for just over a month.

Dube said he is counting down the days with great excitement: “I can’t put into words how I feel about getting an opportunity as huge as this. I’m so excited and overwhelmed. This opportunity doesn’t come along every day and I’m just grateful to CSA for allowing me to share in the festivities.”
Mayet was equally delighted, saying: “I was surprised and happy at receiving this opportunity. I’m so grateful to be able to attend an event of this importance with my husband and friends.”
Aside from the honour of handing over the CSA Fan’s Cricketer of the Year award, each winner will win a VIP experience to CSA’s most memorable night of the year, along with three friends of their choice.
Social media platforms are buzzing with talk of who will walk away with the premier accolade on the night, the 2010 SA Cricketer of the Year. The four nominees are AB de Villiers, Dale Steyn, Hashim Amla and Jacques Kallis.
