The International Cricket Council (ICC) is set to kick off its prestigious ICC Awards 2024, celebrating the year’s finest performances from the global cricketing arena. The awards, spanning 12 categories, will recognize the outstanding contributions of players and officials during an extraordinary year of international cricket.
A Year of Unforgettable Cricket Moments
The past year has been a remarkable one for cricket, highlighted by marquee tournaments such as the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup hosted in the USA and West Indies, and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup staged in Bangladesh and the UAE. These events, along with a packed international schedule, provided the stage for players to deliver exceptional individual and team performances. The ICC Awards 2024 aims to honour these moments, including crowning the winners of the coveted Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year and the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy for ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year.
Shortlist Announcements: Mark Your Calendars
From December 28 to 30, 2024, shortlists for nine categories will be revealed on the ICC’s official website, app, and social media channels. Each shortlist will feature four nominees chosen by a panel of cricket experts, including seasoned writers and broadcasters, based on players’ on-field performances and achievements.
Key Dates:
28 December: ICC Emerging Men’s and Women’s Cricketers of the Year.
29 December: ICC Men’s and Women’s T20I and ODI Cricketers of the Year.
30 December: ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year, the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, and the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy.

The winners will be determined through a combination of fan votes and the ICC Voting Academy, which consists of global cricket media representatives.

The remaining three categories—ICC Men’s and Women’s Associate Cricketers of the Year and ICC Umpire of the Year—will be determined solely by the Voting Academy.
