De Villiers currently averages close to fifty in both the One-dayers as well as the Tests. He was also the leading run-scorer for the Caste Lager Proteas with a highest score of 160 against Sri Lanka this season.
Morkel, who was Proteas' leading wicket-taker in T20 and ODI cricket, has also earned nominations in three categories -- T20 Cricketer of the Year, ODI Cricketer of the Year and SA Cricketer of the Year.
His ODI career-best haul of five for 38 against New Zealand in Napier capped off a superb season for him.
