Round up: Cricket South Africa awards 2014

AB de Villiers

On Wednesday, the fourth of June, Cricket South Africa paid tribute to their cricketers in the 2014 annual CSA awards. The night brought the biggest names in South African cricket together, celebrating another successful year for the Proteas.

South African ODI captain AB de Villiers swept the awards, winning four, including the biggest award of the night: the CSA Cricketer of the Year. The award ceremony also felicitated the two South African stalwarts bidding farewell to the game: former South African middle order batsman Ashwell Prince and ex-South African skipper Graeme Smith.
