The ICC Awards is an International cricket award presented annually by the sport’s governing body.

The first awarding ceremony was held on 7 September 2004 in London, England. Its voting mechanism is as follows; an awards panel comprising prominent cricket journalists and broadcasters from across the globe and the ICC General Manager will determine a shortlist of nominees for each category.

The nominees will be determined according to on-field performances and overall achievements during the Performance Period. They will then be voted on by a Voting Academy comprising a wider selection of global cricket journalists and broadcasters, with cricket fans also contributing to the vote via the ICC’s digital channels.

Currently, Virat Kohli holds the record for most awards by an individual with 10 awards.
