As the Global Cricket Annual Awards voting kicked off, the excitement across the UAE cricket fraternity felt electric. Captains, organisers, umpires, venues, community partners, and cricket gear providers and, all wondering the same thing: “How do we win?”

Understanding the Two Rounds of Voting

Round 1: Online Voting

Open to cricket lovers across the globe. This round helps contenders gain visibility, awareness, and acceptance beyond borders. It shows who the audience knows about.

Round 2: Cricket Connect UAE WhatsApp Polling

Exclusive to the UAE’s largest cricket community group, where members actually play, experience, and live cricket in town. These voters know the grounds, organisers, businesses, captains, and cricket partners personally. They do not just vote on names—they vote on experience, credibility, and trust. This round decides who the audience knows and believes in.

So, How Can You Earn More Votes?

Here is the twist you were waiting for he “cheat code” to win. But there is a winning formula:

1. Build real relationships – People vote for those they respect, not those who request
2. Deliver quality experiences – Every interaction, every match, every decision, every service counts.
3. Be consistent – Trust is earned over time, not weekends
4. Celebrate others too – A strong character uplifts the sport, not just their profile.
5. Be known for fairness – The UAE cricket audience values integrity above all.

The Real Winners

If someone wins this year, it should be because the community felt their impact because they made cricket more inclusive, fairer, stronger, and more joyful for amateur players in town.
