The International Cricket Council has announced details of the annual Pepsi ICC Development Programme Awards for 2010.
This is the ninth year of the awards, which form part of the ICC’s commitment to promoting excellence in cricket development outside the ICC’s Full Members. The awards are designed to recognise exceptional performance and service to the game in ICC Associate and Affiliate Member countries, highlighting cricket’s expanding reach and sharing best practice.
ICC Global Development Manager Matthew Kennedy said: “The Pepsi ICC Development Programme has seen significant growth in cricket around the world, and these awards are an opportunity to recognise excellence, professionalism and innovation among the cricket development activities of ICC Associate and Affiliate Members.
