The South African Cricketers’
Association (SACA) has released the updated Proteas Men’s MVP rankings for the
2025/26 season following the conclusion of the tour to Pakistan.
Using the objective data from the

players as the squad immediately shifts focus to the demanding Test series in
India.
The rise of all-rounder Corbin Bosch, who leads the overall Proteas Men’s MVP with 269.943 MVP points. Bosch’s consistent high-impact performance across all formats, including Test, ODI, and T20I, confirmed his position as the season’s most valuable player thus far.
Looking at the format leaders,
Wiaan Mulder remains the top-ranked player in the Test rankings with 154.959
MVP points. His red-ball form, anchored by a record individual score earlier in
the season, ensures a strong core for the upcoming Test matches.
In the limited-overs formats,

points, reflecting his consistent strike-rate and boundary-hitting prowess in
the shortest format.
Meanwhile, Keshav Maharaj is the
most consistent performer in the One-Day International format, leading the ODI
rankings with 66.483 MVP points for his ability to control the game and take
key wickets.
“The Pakistan tour was a good
exercise in building depth, and the SACA MVP rankings clearly indicate the
resilience and individual capability that emerged,” said Andrew Breetzke, SACA
CEO. “For an all-rounder like Corbin Bosch to lead the overall rankings speaks
volumes about his individual value.”

The South African Cricketers’ Association (SACA) has released the latest Proteas Women’s MVP rankings, recognising an exceptional and historic start to the international season.
A sensational run of form from the opening batter has seen her rocket to the top of the overall rankings, a testament to her consistent, match-winning contributions that helped the team convincingly win the series against Pakistan.
Brits has established a
commanding lead as the overall Proteas Women’s SACA MVP with 51.256 MVP
points. Her phenomenal start to the season was highlighted by a record-breaking
performance in the recent ODI series against Pakistan, where she became the
first South African woman to score consecutive ODI centuries. Her knocks of
101* and 171* (the latter a new highest score for a Proteas woman in ODIs)
secured a series win and showcased her ability to anchor an innings and
dominate the opposition.
In the opening ODI, Brits shared a record-breaking 216-run third-wicket partnership with Marizanne Kapp, a monumental effort that steered the team to victory. In the very next match, she and captain Laura Wolvaardt forged a historic 260-run opening stand, a new national record for any wicket.
Although she did not play in the final match, having played only three games, her confidence will be paramount as the team heads to Sri Lanka for the Women’s ODI World Cup, which begins on September 30. Brits also sits at the top of the ODI MVP rankings, with a total of 51.256 MVP points.

The SACA MVP rankings will track player performances throughout the season, and we look forward to more thrilling displays as the team prepares for the Women’s ODI World Cup.
“This is an incredible moment for Tazmin Brits and for the Proteas Women,” said Andrew Breetzke, SACA CEO. “Her performance has been nothing short of historic. To score back-to-back ODI centuries, setting a new national record, and with those record-breaking partnerships, demonstrates her skill and a level of consistency. Her place at the top of the SACA MVP rankings is a fitting reward for her phenomenal start to the season, and we look forward to seeing her continue to contribute to the team with such a positive impact.”

The new season’s first dominant performances belong to young sensation Dewald Brevis, who has soared to the summit of the Overall Proteas SACA MVP rankings with a commanding 208.621 MVP points. He came into the recent series against England with a significant lead, having already produced a breathtaking, unbeaten 125 from just 56 balls against Australia—a new record for the highest individual T20I score by a Proteas batter. In the recent ODI series against England, Brevis demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure, including a crucial 42 off 20 balls in the second match at Lord’s. His quick scoring helped the team recover and build a winning total, which saw him take the lead in the T20i rankings with 158.554 MVP points.
The One Day International (ODI)rankings are led by the seasoned spin maestro, Keshav Maharaj, who holds the top spot with 66.483 MVP points. His consistency and top performances have propelled him to the top of the rankings and have seen him become the ICC Men’s ODI bowler rankings after a sensational start to the season. His masterclass in the first ODI against Australia, where he bamboozled the opposition with a career-best 5/33, followed by a commanding 4/22 in the first ODI against England, earned him Player of the Series honours.
In Test rankings, all-rounder Wiaan Mulder sits atop the rankings with an impressive 150.71MVP points. This feat was cemented by a truly historic performance against Zimbabwe, where his epic unbeaten knock of 367 became the highest individual score by a South African in Test history, a monumental effort that showcased his immense patience and skill.

One of the many advantages of this MVP model is that points are allocated based on the context of the match during different phases and situations in that match. Furthermore, player points are graded, for each discipline, based on the effect the player’s performance has on the final outcome of a match.
“The domestic MVP has always been popular with players, and it is our hope that the Proteas MVP will provide players and fans alike with a statistical analysis that is accurate, interesting and enhances interest in our wonderful game” commented Andrew Breetzke, SACA CEO.
Proteas Test and ODI captain Temba Bavuma noted; “Given the volume of international cricket across the various formats, the Proteas MVP will provide an objective measure of performance. Cricket has always been a game of statistics; it will be great to focus the statistics on the actual performance of players.”
“MVP programmes for women have lagged behind those of the men, so this is a welcome addition for the women, and will add to the interest and growth of our game,” added Laura Wolvaardt, Proteas Women captain.
