International Cricket Council (ICC) have announced the regional winning cricket boards for the 2022 Development awards, who will now be vying to win the Global award, to be determined by a specialist panel of voters consisting of former players in Graeme Smith, Mel Jones and Stafanie Taylor, and representatives from ICC Full Members, ICC partners and the media, with the Global Winners set to be revealed on ICC channels once voting concludes.
The 2022 awards comprise six (6) categories, and after a year of exceptional innovation and growth, twenty-three (23) ICC Member nations have been honoured as Regional Winners – ranging from leading participation programmes in Indonesia and Serbia to pioneering social impact programmes in Bhutan and Brazil.
