State awards wrap 2022-23: All the winners

Another summer of cricket is done and dusted, and it was Western Australia that again dominated the men's domestic competitions, becoming the first state to win all three titles in consecutive seasons.

Adelaide Strikers (WBBL|08) and the Tasmanian Tigers (WNCL) split the women’s competitions, the latter in a thrilling five-wicket final over to secure the title against South Australia.

With the team titles wrapped up, the six states have now handed out their individual awards, while the ACT's awards will be held in late May.   

Queensland fast bowling allrounder Michael Neser may need to invest in a bigger trophy cabinet after winning the Marsh Sheffield Shield Player of the Year award, the Queensland Bulls Shield and One-Day, and Brisbane Heat player of the season awards.
