Sarwan, Gayle, Roach also among nominees
Mahendra Singh Dhoni of India and Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan have been nominated in three different categories at the LG ICC Awards 2009, while Guyana and West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul will vie for the Cricketer of the Year and ODI player of the Year Awards.
Three other West Indians feature in the long-lists for the Awards ceremony which is in its sixth year. It will be held in Johannesburg to coincide with the ICC Champions Trophy 2009. Previous ceremonies were held in London (2004), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006), Johannesburg (2007) and Dubai (2008). Guyanese Ramnaresh Sarwan is among the nominees for Test Cricketer of the Year while Chris Gayle, who like Chanderpaul and Sarwan, were surprisingly ignored by the WICB selectors for this month’s Champions Trophy in South Africa, is on the list for the ODI player of the Year.
Pacer Kemar Roach, who bowled impressively for a West Indies 2nd string side which lost every Test and ODI at home to Bangladesh in their last series, is among those nominated for the Emerging Player Award.
Based on the period between 13 August 2008 and 24 August 2009, the LG ICC Awards 2009 – presented in association with FICA – will take into account performances by players and officials in a remarkable period for the game.
This year’s Awards include eight individual prizes, the Test and ODI Teams of the Year and the award to the side that has adhered most to the Spirit of Cricket.
The long-lists of nominations were made by a five-man ICC selection panel chaired by former West Indies captain and current chairman of the ICC Cricket Committee Clive Lloyd. The panel also includes former players such as India’s Anil Kumble, Mudassar Nazar of Pakistan, Bob Taylor of England and New Zealand’s Stephen Fleming.
