Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni<\/a> and star batsman Virat Kohli <\/a> along with the Sri Lankan duo of pacer Lasith Malinga and Kumar Sangakkara have been named as the contenders for the ICC ODI Cricketer of the Year Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Sri Lankan skipper has also been named as one of the nominees for The Sir Garfield Sobers Awards for the ICC Cricketer of the Year Award along with South Africa duo Hashim Amla and Vernon Philander, Australia captain Michael Clarke.<\/p>\n

The Twenty20 International (T20I) Performance of the year have Sri Lanka\u2019s Tillakaratne Dilshan short-listed alongside West Indies\u2019 Chris Gayle, South Africa\u2019s Richard Levi and Dilshan\u2019s compatriot, Ajantha Mendis running for the honours.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the ICC Women\u2019s ODI Cricketer of the Year short-list, ICC Women\u2019s Cricketer of the Year 2011, Stafanie Taylor, is short-listed alongside fellow West Indian Anisa Mohammed, as well as England pair of Sarah Taylor and Lydia Greenway.<\/p>\n

Both Taylors also feature in the short-list for ICC Women\u2019s T20I Cricketer of the Year and are joined on that list by Australia pair Alyssa Healy and Lisa Sthalekar.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s LG ICC Awards includes 11 individual prizes, including the LG People\u2019s Choice Award and features the new ICC Women\u2019s ODI Cricketer of the Year and ICC Women\u2019s T20I Cricketer of the Year awards.<\/p>\n

The long-lists of nominations were made by a five-man ICC selection panel chaired by former West Indies captain and current chairman of the ICC Cricket Committee Clive Lloyd. The panel also includes former international players Sri Lanka\u2019s Marvan Atapattu , Clare Connor of England, Carl Hooper of West Indies and Tom Moody of Australia,. <\/p>\n

The short-lists were created after the individual player awards were voted for by an academy of 32 highly credentialed cricket personalities from around the world. The academy includes a host of former players, respected members of the media as well as representatives of the Emirates Elite Panels of ICC Umpires and ICC Match Referees.<\/p>\n

The David Shepherd Trophy for ICC Umpire of the Year award was voted on by the 10 current Test captains and the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees and is partly based on the umpires\u2019 performance statistics.<\/p>\n

There are six nominees this year including five-time winner Simon Taufel, three-time winner Aleem Dar, along with New Zealand\u2019s Billy Bowden, Sri Lanka\u2019s Kumar Dharmasena, England\u2019s Richard Kettleborough and Australia\u2019s Rodney Tucker.<\/p>\n

The ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year nominees short-list features New Zealand\u2019s Doug Bracewell, Sri Lanka\u2019s Dinesh Chandimal, West Indies Sunil Narine and Australia\u2019s James Pattinson.<\/p>\n

To qualify for that award a player must be under the age of 26 at the start of the observation period and have played fewer than five Tests and\/or 10 ODIs and\/or five T20Is at the start of the voting period.<\/p>\n

The ICC Associate and Affiliate Cricketer of the Year award serves to recognise and reward the efforts in all international matches of the outstanding cricketers from the teams outside the ICC Full Members.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s short-list sees four nominees coming from Ireland in the form of Kevin O\u2019Brien, George Dockrell, Ed Joyce and Paul Stirling, while Dawlat Zadran of Afghanistan makes up the group.<\/p>\n

Based on the period between 4 August 2011 and 6 August 2012, the LG ICC Awards 2012 take into account performances by players and officials in a remarkable period for the game.<\/p>\n

That period includes such high-profile events including the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2012 held in the UAE, the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup Qualifier in Bangladesh in 2011, various rounds of the ICC Intercontinental Cup, as well as numerous Pepsi ICC World Cricket League and Championship fixtures, plus several bilateral Test and ODI series.<\/p>\n

The LG ICC Awards ceremony is now in its ninth year and this year it will be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Previous ceremonies were held in London (2004 and 2011), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006), Johannesburg (2007 and 2009), Dubai (2008) and Bengaluru (2010).<\/p>\n
