The 2012 ICC Awards were held on 15 September 2012 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The ICC had been hosting ICC Awards since 2004, which were now into their ninth year. Previous events were held in London (2004, 2011), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006), Johannesburg (2007, 2009), Dubai (2008) and Bangalore (2010). 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 Clive Lloyd, 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.

Selection Committee members:

West Indies Clive Lloyd (chairman)
Sri Lanka Marvan Atapattu
Australia Tom Moody
West Indies Carl Hooper
