Dubai to host ICC awards ceremony

LAHORE - The International Cricket Council (ICC) Friday confirmed that the fifth annual LG ICC Awards ceremony would take place in here on Sept 10.

The event was due to be staged in Lahore ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy but with that tournament being postponed, it will now go ahead in Dubai - ICC headquarters.

"It is of course unfortunate in the circumstances that we had to change venue because we were all looking forward to a great ICC Awards night in Pakistan," said ICC President David Morgan.

"But Dubai is a major player in the world of international cricket these days and it is good to be able to bring such a prestigious event to the home of the ICC," he said.
