Prolific batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has earned two nominations and young fast bowler Kemar Roach is up for the 'Emerging Player' award for the 2009 LG ICC Awards in Johannesburg, South Africa next month.

The two are among six West Indians appearing on a long list of nominees for special awards at a glittering ICC function slated for October 1 to coincide with the ICC Champions Trophy 2009.

Chanderpaul, the 2008 ICC Cricketer of the Year, gets a repeat nomination for that category and the left-hander is also up for the One Day International (ODI) Player of the Year.

Roach, who made headlines for West Indies in their troubled series against Bangladesh, is among eight players nominated for the Emerging Player award.

Chris Gayle, also with two nominations, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Stafanie Taylor, are other West Indians appearing on a long nominations' list, which is expected to be shortened in the coming weeks.

Gayle and Dwayne Bravo have nominations for the Twenty20 Performance of the Year.

The 35-year-old Chanderpaul is among 14 nominees for the Cricketer of the Year award, with Indians Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir, Andrew Strauss, who led England to Ashes victory over Australia this summer, New Zealand's Danny Vettori and Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan, too, are on the list.
