ANNERIE Dercksen started the year with the ICC Women's Emerging Player of the Year award following a brilliant 2024 for the all-rounder, where she played a key role in getting the Proteas Women to the final of the 2024 Women's T20 World Cup in the UAE.

A couple of months later, following yet another set of impressive performances in the green and gold, Dercksen has been nominated in three categories for the upcoming Cricket South Africa Awards scheduled to take place in Johannesburg on July 31.

The 24-year-old is nominated for the SA Fans' Player of the Year award alongside the likes of Temba Bavuma, the Women's Player of the Year and the Women's ODI Player of the Year.

In an exclusive interview with Independent Media, Dercksen opened up about her preparations for what will be a night of celebrations, glitz and glam in Johannesburg.

"I actually went to the dress fitting today. So, excited to get a bit dressed up and all of that and see everyone again," Dercksen said. "I'm not really one for personal recognition. I can't say that I'm excited or even hoping to win anything, but I guess it's a great honour to be recognised."
