AB de Villiers and Dale Steyn have been named in the International Cricket Council One-Day International (ODI) Team of the Year, which was announced in London.

De Villiers and Steyn also made the ICC Test Team of the Year, announced a fortnight ago.

"This has been an outstanding year for 50-over cricket. I think everyone saw in the ICC Cricket World Cup how exciting this format can be," said ICC Awards selection panel chairman Clive Lloyd.

"The ICC Cricket World Cup was rightly applauded as one of the greatest in history and no one who was in Mumbai will forget that remarkable evening," he said.

Kallis is up against the English trio of James Anderson, Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott for the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year, as well as the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award.

Duminy is nominated for the ICC T20 International Performance of the Year.
