BBC commentator Jonathan Agnew will host an esteemed event of 400 guests next week, which will see eight OSCAs presented.
The OSCAs were first founded in 2003 to recognise cricket’s unsung heroes and appreciate the input and influences of grassroots volunteers from all over England and Wales.
The awards are a fundamental part of the ECB’s volunteering programmes which give cricket clubs support on recruiting, rewarding and educating cricket volunteers.
The final shortlist (below) has been chosen by a panel of representatives from the ECB, British Gymnastics, vInspired and NatWest.
Acknowledging the nominees and the event, Mike Gatting ECB’s managing director, cricket partnerships said: “The NatWest OSCAs provide the perfect opportunity to recognise the outstanding contribution volunteers make to our sport.
"The nominees all play an important role in ensuring grassroots cricket continues to flourish and everyone at the ECB is looking forward to seeing these volunteers rewarded.”
