2019-20 State, Big Bash awards winners
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic shutdown may have made the Australian domestic season short but it hasn’t stopped the best performers being honoured by their states. The end-of-season celebrations across the cricket community were reduced by the coronavirus, while Australia saw the final round of the Marsh Sheffield Shield competition and the subsequent final scrapped.
The best players from Australia’s domestic cricket season have been honoured, with some outstanding performers up in lights. A host of glittering awards ceremonies usually follow but this year it was more a low-key affair with online catch-ups during lockdown instead. With Tasmania the last state to announce all their award winners last month, here are the full list of winners from the Shield, Marsh One-Day Cup, Rebel WBBL 05 and KFB BBL 09 seasons as well as the Women’s National Cricket League:
