Vice-captain Rahul Dravid and India's first Test triple centurion Virender Sehwag were nominated for the Test Player of the Year as well as the Player of the Year awards.
Sachin Tendulkar was in line for the ODI Player of the Year while pace sensation Irfan Pathan got himself picked for the Emerging Player of the Year, a statement from the ICC said on Tuesday.
