They were presented at a grand ceremony in association with the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA).[1][2] The ICC had been hosting ICC Awards since 2004, which were now into their eighth year. Previous events were held in London (2004), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006), Johannesburg (2007, 2009), Dubai (2008) and Bangalore (2010).
