The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced 30 ICC Development Awards 2025 regional winners across six categories that will compete for the Global Awards in July.
Scotland Women are the Europe Regional Winner for the ICC Associate Member Women’s Team Performance of the Year Award – following a 2025 highlighted by a victory over Full Member West Indies in April.
Cricket Scotland are also the Europe Regional Winner for the ICC Digital Fan Engagement Award, for the live broadcast produced of the ICC Men’s U19 Europe Qualifier decided between Scotland the Netherlands – the first time an under 19s’ regional qualifier had been broadcast.
The Regional Winners will now be put forward as contenders to claim the Global Awards, determined by a specialist and independent panel of voters consisting of two-time ICC Men’s T20 World Cup-winner Samuel Badree, ex-Ireland international Kevin O’Brien and former Zimbabwe international Mary-Anne Musonda. The remainder of the 12-strong panel includes representatives from ICC partners, ICC Full Members, and the media, with the Global Winners set to be revealed on ICC channels in July.
Mr. Jay Shah, ICC Chairman, said: “The ICC Development Awards continue to highlight the outstanding work being delivered by our Members to grow cricket in emerging nations and create more opportunities for people to engage with the game around the world.
“Across every region, we are seeing innovation, inclusivity and ambition drive the sport forward through grassroots participation programmes, women’s cricket initiatives, digital fan engagement and strong on-field performances. The diversity of this year’s winners reflects the global momentum behind the game and the dedication of Members.
“I would like to congratulate all of the Regional Winners and shortlisted Members on their achievements and wish them the very best ahead of the Global Awards.”
