ICC is all set to telecast the Player of the Decade Award show on 28th December to announce the winners on the digital platform.
A special broadcast show is also arranged for revealing the winners on all ICC Digital Channels as well as the Star Sports Network on Monday, 28th December at 12:30 PM GST/2 PM IST.
The winners of all the individual awards will receive a unique artwork created in a collaboration between the ICC, Mumbai-based studio Kulture Shop and Indian artist Pratap Chalke. The Rachel Heyhoe-Flint and Sir Garfield Sobers winners get a spectacular hand-painted artwork bat, while the other individual award winners will receive a limited-edition canvas painting that captures their unique passion and spirit.
“We wanted to present the winners with truly memorable awards that captured the personality of these icons of the game. It’s been fantastic to work with Chalke and the team at Kulture Shop to bring this vision to life in such a bold, impactful way,” said Finn Bradshaw, Head of Digital at the ICC.
Fans will also be able to download the winners’ artworks from the ICC website following the announcement to use as wallpaper on their phone or social media account.
