The 2009 ICC Awards were held on 1 October 2009 in Johannesburg, South Africa before the semi-finals of 2009 ICC Champions Trophy. Nominations were announced in Mumbai in early September while short lists were announced on 15 September. These awards were given on the performance of the players between 13 August 2008 and 24 August 2009 and were presented in association with the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA). Performances from both players and officials were taken into account during this period of time for the game.
The ICC had been hosting ICC Awards since 2004, which were now into their sixth year. Previous events were held in London (2004), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006) and Dubai (2008), with Johannesburg also hosting in 2007. 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.
Sponsors
As the logo of these awards suggests, LG, one of the world's leading electronic brands, sponsored these awards along with other ICC sponsors.[1]
