State-by-state: End of season 2020-21 player awards

The 2020-21 domestic season has drawn to a close with state associations around the country hosting their awards nights and taking to social media to celebrate the outstanding players from a unique summer.

Marnus Labuschagne and Georgia Redmayne took home the major prizes in Queensland, the Ian Healy Trophy and Queensland Fire Player of the Year, capping a memorable summer for Bulls and Fire as they were victorious in the Sheffield Shield and WNCL respectively.

Marsh One-Day Cup winners and Sheffield Shield runners-up, New South Wales, crowned all-rounder Sean Abbott with the Steve Waugh Medal on their night of nights with Rachael Haynes awarded the Belinda Clark Medal following a stunning WNCL campaign. Test stars, David Warner and Nathan Lyon, took home the Blues’ One-Day Cup and Sheffield Shield Player of the Tournament awards.

It was a big night for Travis Head at the Dansie McCauley Medal in Adelaide, with the South Australian skipper awarded the Neil Dansie Medal as the state’s best men’s player across the summer having led the Redbacks for runs in both formats. Bridget Patterson crowned a standout season with the willow for the Scorpions to secure the Andrea McCauley Medal.

There was a tie in the Tasmanian medal count, for the Female Tigers’ Player of the Year Award with star allrounders Nicola Carey and Heather Graham each taking home the honour. Jackson Bird capped a fine summer across both format for the male Tigers to win the Ricky Ponting Medal for the second successive year.

In the west, Nicole Bolton won her fifth Zoe Goss Medal, WA’s highest women’s honour, winning the award for the second successive year. A breakout summer for rising star all-rounder Cameron Green saw the 21-year-old secure the state’s highest men’s honour, the Lawrie Sawle Medal.

In Victoria, Elyse Villani took home the Sharon Tredrea Award following her stunning WNCL campaign with men's captain, Peter Handscomb, securing the Dean Jones Medal as his state's finest one-day player from the summer.
