Dubai: Five cricketers, including India’s World Cup winning skipper M S Dhoni, were on Thursday shortlisted for the second edition of ICC’s ‘People’s Choice Awards’.
The shortlist includes the likes of South African batsman Hashim Amla, Chris Gayle of West Indies, former Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara and England’s Jonathan Trott apart from Dhoni.
The list was nominated by an elite panel of cricket experts headed by former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd, along with Pakistan’s Zaheer Abbas, England’s Mike Gatting, South Africa’s Paul Adams and New Zealand’s Danny Morrison.
Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar bagged the honour in 2010, first time when the award was included in the ICC’s list. (PTI)
