Cricket Awards: The ICC Awards recognize and honor the most important men’s and women’s international cricket players and their best performances from the past year. In 2004, the awards were made by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Winners are chosen by a group of well-known former players, respected members of the media, and an elite group of ICC umpires and match referees. This group is called a “specially selected panel”.

The year’s BBC Sports Personality:
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) gives out the BBC Awards every December. These are UK-based awards. Paul Fox started it in 1954, and at first there was only one award. Since then, several more awards have been added. The main prize is a silver-plated four-turret lens camera, and the smaller versions of this trophy are given to the other winners.
Individual awards for sports stars are put together by the BBC’s three national regions, and the BBC’s 12 local English regions hold their own award ceremonies before the national ceremony. The people who are up for the BBC Sports Unsung Hero Award are all the regional winners.
