2010 ICC Awards
Cricket award edition
The 2010 ICC Awards were held on 6 October 2010 in Bangalore, India in association with the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA).
The ICC had been hosting ICC Awards since 2004, which were now into their seventh year. Previous events were held in London (2004), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006), Johannesburg (2007, 2009) and Dubai (2008).
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.

Development Awards
2010 saw the inaugural edition of the ICC Development Awards, exclusively for Associate nations.
“2010 ICC Awards” enters the record as cricket award edition. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Awards, Cricket and award can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“2010 ICC Awards” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Awards, Cricket and award provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4617489. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
