Former Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara has been short-listed for the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the ICC Cricketer of the Year and ICC ODI Cricketer of the Year award. Mahela Jayawardane has been nominated for the ICC Spirit of Cricket award at this year’s LG ICC Awards 2013.
Sri Lankan spinner Ajantha Mendis’s six wickets for just eight runs in 2012 T20 World Cup group match against Zimbabwe earned him a place among the contenders for ICC Twenty20 International Performance of the Year.
Meanwhile, the ICC today announced its Test and ODI Teams of the Year. Sri Lanka’s star batsman Kumar Sangakkara and Fast bowler Lasith Malinga have retained their position in the ICC ODI Team of the Year while Sri Lankan Opener Thilakarane Dilshan has reclaimed the opening role in the ODI team of the year. Not Surprisingly No Sri Lankan has been named in the ICC Test team of the year as Sri Lanka has only taken part in limited number of test matches this year.
