Sachin Tendulkar along with Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara, South Africa's duo Vernon Philander and Jacques Kallis, and England's James Anderson were nominated for the ICC People's Choice award.
Just two years after winning it, senior Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar was today once again nominated for the ICC People's Choice award.
Those nominated include Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara, South Africa's duo Vernon Philander and Jacques Kallis, while England's James Anderson makes up the quintet of nominees. Both Sangakkara (2011) and Tendulkar (2010) have won the award in the past.
For the third time in the history of the awards, fans will have the opportunity to decide the winner, this time by accessing an application on the ICC's official Facebook page: www.facebook.com/cricketicc.Voting will be open until midnight August 31 with the winner to be announced on September 15 at the LG ICC Awards in Colombo, the ICC said in a statement.
The shortlist, nominated by an elite panel of cricket experts headed by former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd, along with Sri Lanka's Marvan Atapattu, England's Clare Connor, West Indies Carl Hooper and Australia's Tom Moody, was selected using criteria set out by LG and the ICC.
"This is the third year of the LG People's Choice Award and it is proving to be hugely popular among fans across the globe and continues to highlight how much voting for their cricketing heroes means," ICC Chief Executive David Richardson said.
"This year sees the two past winners nominated again alongside three other extremely deserving candidates, I'm sure the public will choose wisely as to who will be the 2012 winner of this prestigious award at the LG ICC Awards 2012."
