Malcolm Speed, the ICC chief executive, will announce the shortlists for this year's ICC Awards in Mumbai this Sunday.

The shortlists for the awards have been compiled by the 56-member voting academy, who were asked to vote for players nominated by a selection panel chaired by Sunil Gavaskar, the former India captain.

In addition to the individual awards and the Spirit of Cricket Award, this year's ceremony will also feature the awarding of Test and ODI Teams of the Year. And for the first time, there is an award for Women's Cricketer of the Year.

The ceremony - in its third year - will take place at the Taj Land's End in Mumbai on November 3. It has previously been held in London (2004) and, last year, in Sydney.
