The 2013 ICC Awards were broadcast in a special TV show which was aired on 14 December 2013.[1] The ICC had been hosting ICC Awards since 2004, which were now into their tenth year. Previous events were held in London (2004, 2011), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006), Johannesburg (2007, 2009), Dubai (2008), Bangalore (2010) and Colombo (2012). The ICC awards the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy to the Cricketer of the Year, which is considered to be the most prestigious award in world cricket.
Selection Committee
Chaired by ICC Cricket Hall of Famer Anil Kumble, the ICC Selection Committee was charged with two main tasks. Using their experience, knowledge and appreciation of the game, they selected the ICC World XI Teams and provided a long list of nominations to the 32 members of the voting academy to cast their votes in the individual player award categories.[2]
