Maddinson was the competition's leading run-scorer in the 2019-20 season as he registered 780 runs at an average of 86.66. While Henriques scored 512 runs at an average of 51.20.

"We would like to applaud the winners of all nine State Cricket Awards after another successful domestic season. It is pleasing to see players and teams from across the country recognised in these awards, a testament to the strength of our domestic competitions," Drew Ginn, Cricket Australia Executive General Manager, High Performance, said in an official statement.
Earlier, New South Wales (NSW) were declared as the winners of the Sheffield Shield after the competition was called off due to the coronavirus.
The announcement comes as Cricket Australia strongly recommended that cricket at all levels should be ceased in response to the global coronavirus pandemic.
In the Sheffield Shield, New South Wales won six, lost two and drew one of their matches for a total of 50.76 points.
