Zimbabwe set to reveal annual awards

Cricinfo staff


The nominees for the 2009 Zimbabwe Cricket Awards have been announced, with captain Prosper Utseya, Ray Price, Tawanda Mupariwa and Hamilton Masakadza vying to be named Cricketer of the Year.

A panel of 15 judges, including ZC administrators, selectors and members of the media, met in Harare on July 15 to deliberate over the candidates in a variety of award categories. The awards recognize achievements attained during the 2008-09 season which ended in March.

"The annual awards were created to pay special tribute to the leading cricketers of the day and honor those who have played a significant role in administering and developing the sport in Zimbabwe", said a board spokesperson.

ZC will also use the ceremony to reveal the names and corporate identities of the recently-launched franchises. "There has been much anticipation about how the new franchises will be branded and invited guest will be the first to get a sneak peek at how each of the five franchises will be represented in the coming season," the spokesman added.

Forget about the former, if it is indeed having an impact on the latter, then we all must feel proud of ourselves

Indeed! It's great to contribute for Zimbabwean cricket.

And I think that, August 5 will be a notable day for Zim cricket. We will be able to see the squad of Ban series, Franchises squad and the best player award winner all together.
