A giant of the game.

Very well deserved. Congrats to Jaq Kallis, the wall of South African cricket
 
Kallis, Sthalekar and Zaheer Abbas inducted into ICC Cricket Hall of Fame

The International Cricket Council (ICC) today inducted three retired greats of the game into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame during an absorbing show broadcast around the world via ICC digital channels. South Africa’s gritty all-rounder Jacques Kallis and talented Australian World Cup-winning all-rounder Lisa Sthalekar were joined by Zaheer Abbas of Pakistan, a stylish batsman of the 1970s and 80s who was also known as the Asian Bradman.

The show, hosted by commentator Alan Wilkins, featured retired greats Sunil Gavaskar, Melanie Jones and Shaun Pollock as the main guests and had Wasim Akram, Graeme Smith and Alyssa Healy join in to congratulate and appreciate the 2020 inductees.

Kallis is the fourth South African player inducted and Zaheer the sixth from Pakistan. Lisa is the 27th from Australia and the ninth woman player in the list, which includes five from Australia. In all, 93 players have been inducted so far under the system, which sees retired players become eligible five years after playing their last international match.

Former ICC Cricket Hall of Famers formed the majority of the adjudicating panel with representation from the media, ICC and Federation of International Cricketers’ Association (FICA).

ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney: “It is always a pleasure to announce the latest set of inductees into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame. These are all players with a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations for years to come. I congratulate Zaheer, Jacques and Lisa on their inclusion in the pantheon of cricket greats.”

Jacques Kallis: “It’s a great honour to be inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame. It is something that I never expected when I started playing. I certainly did not play the game for any accolades or anything like that, I only wanted to win the games for whoever I was playing for.

“But it is nice to be recognised when one has succeeded in the sport, it is nice to be recognised by people for something that you have achieved in the game, something that I am really proud of.”

Lisa Sthalekar: “I am deeply humbled to receive this honour. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe that I would ever get to join such an illustrious group of players.

“I was fortunate enough to learn from the best when I entered the Australia team – Belinda Clark, Karen Rolton and Cathryn Fitzpatrick, all of whom have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and rightly so. The guidance from them and other teammates along the way kept me focused but also ensured that it was a fun environment. Thanks to all my teammates.

“It goes without saying that if it wasn’t for the support of my family, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve what I have.”

Zaheer Abbas: “I feel privileged and truly humbled to be inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame of the class of 2020. I am excited to be in the midst of other illustrious cricketers.

“I would like to say a special thanks to my family, my country Pakistan, my county Gloucestershire and many fans worldwide who helped me achieve and fulfil my dreams by playing this great game at the highest level. Thank you, ICC, and the members of the jury, for this special honour. It is a final recognition for any cricketer.

“This great game has made me the person I am. Thank you cricket.”

Many congratulations to Pakistani fans on induction of Zaheer Abbass. I wonder why it took so long. What a player he was and who know better than us Indians who were at the receiving end of arguably the greatest phainty ever dished out to a bowling line up.

I wonder if anything else beats what Zaheer Abbass and Javed Miandad did to Indian bowling in 1978. It is the definition of phainty
.
 
Why no Shaun Pollock yet? It is a disservice to him.

Btw, congratulations to Jacques Kallis and Zaheer Abbas. Deserving inductees.

What disservice? Zaheer Abbass got one after three decades. This is HOF, it's not a joke. Game is bigger than any cricketer. When his time will come, he will get one.

Shaun Pollock is a legend of the game. It is a disservice to him that he hasn't been awarded. If it's about time, most of the players who have been awarded after him doesn't deserve it ahead of him.

No one is doubting his credentials but HOF have limited slots every year and one cannot satisfy everyone. His time will come. Have patience instead of creating a scene and disrespecting the HOF. The game is bigger.

Remember, Bruno Samartino received a HOF after Eddie Guerrero.

Bro you are clearly questioning ICC HOF's credibility.

Shaun Pollock isn't the only legend who's not in HOF yet. There are many other greats who still await induction.

These things come slow that's exactly why they are so special.

Would you prefer ICC inducting 200 cricketers in HOF in one go based on some random ranking order?

It is like this so that 3 cricketers could get special honour and recognition once an year.

Shaun Pollock is a legitimate top 50 cricketers in the 150 years history of international cricket. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand the game of cricket. This is disrespect to the man himself, Shaun Pollock.

Absolutely embarrassing and humiliating stuff from HOF. They should be sued for ever.

Yeah, Bang On. :yk
 
Cricket South Africa (CSA) today congratulated former Proteas all-rounder Jacques Kallis on becoming the fourth South African and the second of the modern era to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.

The ceremony was live streamed on ICC’s social media channels when he was honoured alongside two other all-time greats of the game, Lisa Sthalekar of Australia and Zaheer Abbas of Pakistan.

The other South Africans to have been inducted into the Hall of Fame are Graeme Pollock, Barry Richards and Allan Donald.

Last year Kallis was honoured with the Ikhamanga Award in the Silver Division by the President, the Honourable Cyril Ramaphosa, for his excellence in cricket and the contribution he has made to putting South Africa on the world sports map.

“It is highly fitting that Jacques should be honoured in this way,” commented CSA Acting Chief Executive Kugandrie Govender. “Jacques’ long list of achievements hardly need repeating but suffice it to say he stands alongside the great Sir Garfield Sobers as the greatest batting all-rounder of all time and is certainly our greatest player of the modern era. He earned his place in every Protea team he represented both as a top-order batsman and as an outstanding swing bowler of lively pace. In addition, his slip catching was legendary and contributed significantly to the successes our fast bowlers enjoyed throughout his career.

“Most important of all is the outstanding example he has set for the highest standards of sportsmanship and the traditions of the game to inspire not just aspiring young cricketers but the youth of the entire country.

“He is indeed one of the crown jewels of the CSA family and I can speak on behalf of the entire nation in congratulating him and saying how proud we all are of him,” concluded Ms. Govender.

Did you stop watching cricket in the 20th Century or did you make it all the way to the 21st Century and saw the last Aus Pakistan series with scores of 580 and 589/3d?

Those were good Indian bowling line ups.

What happened to us in 1978 by Zaheer Abbass and Miandad still hurts and feels embarrassing.

One of the first to congratulate always.

I hope to see a youtube episode dedicated to Zaheer Abbass by him and other analysts , especially Javed who has batted most with him and knows him better than anyone among YouTube experts. I believe he already uploaded a video on Zaheer Abbass in past.

Long time coming.

Next on #ICCHallOfFame we have one of the greatest bowlers of all time, India spinner
@anilkumble1074
.

The third-leading wicket-taker in Test cricket
 
 
Truly legendary stats for Anil Kumble.

619 test wickets, Avg 29, 35 five wicket haul. An 8-fer vs the greatest Australian batting lineup in a decider in Australia in 2003.

I still have my doubts on putting Ashwin ahead as a bowler over Kumble.

In this day and age of DRS, Kumble would have swallowed whole batting line-ups without a burp. In an Indian ATG XI, both Kumble and Ashwin would play. With Jadeja being the spin AR. 3 very different spinners posing very different threats.

Ten legends of the game who have made a significant contribution to the history of Test cricket will be inducted to join 93 players who are already in the illustrious list of ICC Hall of Famers making the total now to 103.

The special intake will see two players from each of the following five eras join the ranks of the world’s greatest players.

Early Cricket Era (pre-1918)
Inter-War Cricket Era (1918 – 1945)
Post-War Cricket Era (1946 – 1970)
ODI Era (1971 – 1995)
Modern Cricket Era (1996 – 2016)

The special edition ICC Hall of Fame show will be hosted by Alan Wilkins streamed LIVE on all ICC digital channels, including Facebook and YouTube on Sunday 13 June 2021 at 4:30 PM GST / 6:00 PM IST / 1:30 BST, featuring interviews from the inductees and reactions and insights from a specialist panel of guests including Lisa Sthalekar and Lawrence Booth, who will also be joined by two special inductees making their way into this league of legends.

The ten icons inducted as part of this special edition have been voted for by the ICC Hall of Fame Voting Academy, comprising of living Hall of Fame members, a FICA representative, prominent cricket journalists and senior ICC figures.

ICC Acting Chief Executive Geoff Allardice: “It is an honour for us to announce a one-time induction of ten cricketing greats into the ICC Hall of Fame to coincide with the first ever final of the World Test Championship in Southampton.

“We are celebrating the history of the game and what better way than to honour some of the greats that founded and played the game across different eras. These are all players with a legacy that will continue to inspire future generations for years to come.”

The ICC Half of Fame special edition induction process:

The ICC’s independent statistician will compile a longlist of ex-players or other significant cricketing figures for each era (based on the period during which they had their most significant impact) and will be presented to the Hall of Fame Nominations Committee, together with relevant statistics and brief commentary.

The Hall of Fame Nominations Committee subsequently convene to select six names to be shortlisted in each of the five eras noted above.

The ICC Hall of Fame Voting Academy, comprising active Hall of Fame members, a FICA representative, prominent cricket journalists and senior ICC figures, vote online to identify their selections for induction in each of the five eras.

Results will produce a weighted score, against which the top two individuals in each era will be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. In the event of a tie, the players with the most first choice votes will take priority.
 
The International Cricket Council (ICC) today announced a special edition intake of 10 cricket icons into the ICC Hall of Fame to celebrate the prestigious history of Test cricket, and to coincide with the first ever ICC World Test Championship Final. The 10 legends of the game to be inducted have all made a significant contribution to the history of Test cricket, and join an illustrious list of ICC Hall of Famers, taking the total number to 103 as a result of this intake.

The special inductions of the ICC Hall of Fame from the following five eras join the ranks of the world’s greatest players:

EARLY CRICKET ERA - Players whose greatest contributions to the game were prior to 1918.

Aubrey Faulkner of South Africa played 25 Tests, scored 1,754 runs at 40.79, took 82 wickets at 26.58, and was one of the pioneers of the “googly” at the time. Faulkner was the only man to head both the MRF Tyres ICC Batting and Bowling rankings in Test cricket. He was one of the greatest all-rounders and later one of the best coaches. He was a part of the famous ‘googly quartet’ that so characterised South African cricket in the first decade of the 20th century and he peaked with the bat in the 1910-11 series in Australia when he made 732 runs in the five Tests.

Monty Noble of Australia played 42 Tests, scored 1,997 runs at 30.25, took 121 wickets at 25.00, and was one of the greatest Australian all-rounders. He is still the fastest from that country to achieve the 1,000 run / 100 wicket Test double. He played 42 Tests, captaining his side in 15 of them, and he was a trailblazing captain, abandoning mammoth bowling spells to keep bowlers fresh. A true all-rounder, Noble was a banker and a qualified dentist outside of being a prolific cricketer of that time.

INTER-WAR ERA - Players whose greatest contributions to the game were from 1918-1945.

Sir Learie Constantine of West Indies played 18 Tests, scored 635 runs at 19.24, took 58 wickets at 30.10, and can be considered the first great West Indian all-rounder, playing with a flair and freedom that was decades ahead of his time. He was a champion not only amongst players but for his people too in their political and legal fight against racial discrimination. He was also the first black member of the House of Lords.

Stan McCabe of Australia played 39 Tests, scored 2,748 runs at 48.21, took 36 wickets at 42.86, and was a right-handed batsman of the highest class, he played three memorable innings and defied the “Bodyline tactics” that were predominant at the time within the England camp with 187 not out at Sydney. He further struck an unbeaten 189 at Johannesburg in 1935 and then 232 in less than four hours at Nottingham in the 1938 Ashes Test. He was touted as one of the greatest batsmen of the game by his captain Sir Don Bradman.

POST-WAR ERA - Players whose greatest contributions to the game were from 1946-1970.

Ted Dexter of England played 62 Tests, scored 4,502 runs at 47.89, took 66 wickets at 34.93, and was a superb batsman who combined a firm defence with the ability to destroy any bowling attack off both the front and back foot. His innings of 70 in the 1963 Lord’s Test lives long in the memory of all who saw it. He was an effective partnership breaker with his medium-fast seam bowling and later in life served as England’s Chairman of Selectors and played an influential role in developing what is today’s MRF Tyres ICC Player Rankings.

Vinoo Mankad of India played 44 Tests, scored 2,109 runs at 31.47, took 162 wickets at 32.32, and was an opening batsman and slow left arm orthodox bowler, known as one of India’s greatest-ever all-rounders. His most famous feat was against England at Lord's in 1952 when he scored 72 and 184 and bowled 97 overs in the match. He is one of only three cricketers to have batted in every position during his Test career. In later life, he also coached another legendary cricketer and fellow ICC Hall of Fame member from his country, Sunil Gavaskar in Mumbai, India.

ODI ERA - Players whose greatest contributions to the game were from 1971-1995.

Desmond Haynes of the West Indies played 116 Tests, scored 7,487 runs at 42.29 and was one half of the most prolific opening batting partnership in Test history alongside Gordon Greenidge. He was capable of some destructive innings and combined impeccable timing with power in his stroke making and has played four ICC World Cups in that era.

Bob Willis of England played 90 Tests taking 325 wickets at 25.20 and spearheaded the English bowling attack during some of their most memorable moments during this period. Standing two metres tall, he could make the ball bounce awkwardly on most pitches and possessed an excellent yorker and bouncer, both of which he used to great effect over the course of his career. His greatest triumph was the famous eight for 43 that beat Australia at Headingley in 1981 and after retirement became a popular, and often polarising member of the Sky TV commentary box.

MODERN CRICKET ERA - Players whose greatest contributions to the game were between 1996-2015.

Andy Flower of Zimbabwe played 63 Tests, scoring 4,794 runs at 51.54, took 151 catches with nine stumpings as a left-handed wicket-keeper batsmen. First Zimbabwe player to be inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame. His grit, determination and will to succeed meant at one point he was ranked number 1 batsman in the world. Andy carried his country's batting for long periods, setting the record for the highest Test score by a wicketkeeper with an innings of 232 not out against India at Nagpur in 2000. Later, he became a hugely successful coach, leading England to the number 1 spot in the MRF Tyres ICC Test Rankings for Men.

Kumar Sangakkara of Sri Lanka played 134 Tests, scored 12,400 runs at 57.40, took 182 catches and 20 stumpings, and was grace personified at the crease. Sangakkara ended his career as the most prolific run-scorer his country had ever known, with double-hundreds flowing from his bat with consummate ease. In 2014 he struck 319 and 105 in the same Test match against Bangladesh and in 2017 fell just 16 runs short of striking six successive centuries in first-class cricket.

The special edition ICC Hall of Fame show was streamed LIVE on ICC digital channels and was hosted by Alan Wilkins. The show featured interviews with some of the inductees and insights from a specialist panel of guests including Lisa Sthalekar and Lawrence Booth of Wisden. Kumar Sangakkara and Andy Flower also made an appearance on the show, giving their reactions to their entry into this league of legends.

The 10 icons inducted as part of this special edition were voted for by the ICC Hall of Fame Voting Academy, comprising living Hall of Fame members, a FICA representative, prominent cricket journalists and senior ICC figures.

Commenting on getting inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame, Ted Dexter (England) said: “Well I wasn’t completely aware of the ICC Hall of Fame until I found out I was going to be inducted, so after looking at some of the names in it and knowing that cricket deserves to have a Hall of Fame, I was really chuffed to hear the news. The names in the ICC Hall of Fame include some super players, some of whom I played with, against, and some of whom I had a lot to do with when I was working in English cricket.

“My fondest memory as a player is probably the New Year’s Ashes Test 1962/63 against the might of Benaud’s Australia. We needed almost 240 to win the match on the final day and boy did I feel good when we got over the line! That is something I will never forget.

“After my playing career, not in my wildest dreams did I think I would end up being a top administrator of the game. I thought I would get on with life after playing and build my PR business. Suddenly along came the opportunity to become Chairman of Selectors, and at the time we were expected to beat most of the emerging Test nations. I was aware that time had moved on so unless we thought differently and planned ahead, we were going to be left behind.

“There are many moments in my life in cricket of which I am very proud; as a player, an administrator and in establishing what is today’s rankings system. I also take great pride in having simplified the means of producing on-screen captions and scorecards when I was working as a television commentator, something which you take for granted when watching cricket today. My work in cricket is all very gratifying and I am really proud of everything I have achieved. Being recognized by the ICC for what I have achieved is very satisfying and knowing that I’ve been chosen by my peers and so many great names makes me blush, and I’m thrilled along with my family by this honour.”

Speaking on his induction, Desmond Haynes said: “I have played Cricket with some of the greats of the game from the West Indies who are also inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame. That team from 1978 till about the 1990s was a fantastic team. As a young boy growing up in Barbados, I never dreamt that I would be one day inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame. I have really come a long way and I am very happy for this honour. The journey was not smooth, I started playing cricket in a little area of St. James in Barbados where I was loved by everyone in the community, who also helped me stay out of trouble. This is also for my grandmother, my mum and my wife, all of whom supported me in my journey.”

Speaking on Vinoo Mankad’s induction, fellow ICC Hall of Fame member, Sunil Gavaskar said: “Vinoo Mankad’s legacy has been to tell the aspiring Indian cricketer to believe in oneself. He was a great proponent of self-belief. He was the one who kept saying to me that you need to keep scoring runs and keep at it. When you get a 100, let that be the knock on the selector’s door. If it is unheard, then score that double hundred and let that knock be even louder. You can have the best technique, but if you do not have the temperament to support it you will not succeed, you have to keep hanging in there and have that self-belief. That was the greatest lesson I learnt from him.”

Commenting on Bob Willis’s induction into the ICC Hall of Fame, his wife Lauren Clark said: “We are incredibly honoured as a family that Bob is getting inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame and it is sad that he is not here to accept it himself. He deserves to be here; he played 90 Tests for England and took 325 Test wickets and he worked really hard for those wickets, and we are really honoured and proud of him.”

Commenting on receiving the ICC Hall of Fame posthumously, granddaughter of Monty Noble, Elizabeth Noble said: “It is a great honour for us as a family to have my grandfather, inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame. We are delighted and truly humbled that his contributions to cricket have been recognized and celebrated in such a way.”

Reacting to the honour on her father being inducted in the ICC Hall of Fame posthumously, daughter of Stan McCabe, Christine Hancock said: “I was thrilled when I heard about his induction, and very proud of this honour. He was a good father and we spent a lot of good times together. He was very generous and humble in the family home. He would tell me about his innings at Trent Bridge in 1938 and that while he was batting, Don Bradman told the whole team to go out onto the balcony to watch my father’s innings, telling them they’ll never see anything like it ever again! Although I didn’t see him play a lot myself, I always heard stories about him as this fluid, swashbuckling sort of player. He didn’t talk much about his cricket career at home. He would always rather be known as the father of Geoff and Chris McCabe than as a cricketer.”

West Indies cricket legends Sir Learie Constantine and Desmond Haynes were inducted into the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Hall of Fame on Sunday. They have joined the list of fellow cricketing icons who have received this prestigious honour.

The late Learie Constantine was an early pioneer of West Indies cricket and an outstanding all-rounder. He was a member of the celebrated team which played in the first Test match in West Indies history in England in June, 1928. He played 18 Test matches and made an indelible contribution to the sport and the West Indian community at home and abroad.

Haynes was one of the most successful opening batsmen in the history of the game and formed a world famous batting partnership with his long-standing teammate, Gordon Greenidge. He was a member of the West Indies World Cup champion team in 1979. Haynes played 116 Test matches and scored 7,487 runs, including 18 centuries, at an average of 42.3. He also made 8,648 runs in 238 One-Day Internationals, which included 17 centuries.

Cricket West Indies (CWI) President, Ricky Skerritt, has paid tribute to Desmond Haynes and Sir Learie Constantine.

“This is another special day in West Indies cricket history as these two exemplars of the wonderful game of cricket, have been honoured globally through the ICC Hall of Fame – true indicators of their performance and their impact,” Skerritt said.

“Sir Learie Constantine was the quintessential West Indian cricketer – a lively fast bowler, attacking batsman and superb fielder, a man who took to the field on that famous day at Lord’s 93 years ago when the West Indies started the challenging but exciting journey as a Test nation. He embodied what we as West Indians value most in our players – dedication, commitment and strength of character. After his playing days were over he also made his name as a popular lawyer and politician, with a dedication to serving and improving the lives of others.”

Skerritt added: “Desmond’s cricket career showed early promise as a member of the Barbados U19 team. It wasn’t long before he shot onto the world stage with a sensational century and never looked back. He was an opening batsman and a close-to-the-wicket fielder par excellence, and together with Gordon Greenidge set the standard for how the new ball should be played. Out in the middle Desmond was lion-hearted and never surrendered no matter the circumstances. As an integral and valued member of the West Indies all-conquering team, he proudly represented Barbados and the West Indies and opened doors for many others to follow.”

Ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 Final, Janette Brittin, Mahela Jayawardena and Shaun Pollock were announced as the newest inductees into the prestigious ICC Cricket Hall of Fame. These legends will be formally inducted by fellow ICC Hall of Famer, Sir Clive Lloyd at the much-anticipated final between New Zealand and Australia on Sunday 14 November before the game gets underway at the Dubai International Stadium.

The ICC Cricket Hall of Fame recognises the achievements of the legends of the game from cricket’s long and illustrious history. 106 players have been inducted since its launch in 2009, with Brittin, Jayawardena and Pollock as the latest inductees celebrated.

Today’s inductees played in 284 Tests, 814 ODIs and 67 T20 Internationals between them. Janet Brittin was a mainstay of the England Test team for 19 years, helping to pave the way for women’s cricket between 1979 and 1998.

Mahela Jayawardena retired as one of Sri Lanka’s greatest ever players, a key member of the team that won the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2014 and reached four other major ICC finals.

Whilst South Africa’s Shaun Pollock was one of the finest bowling all-rounders the game has ever seen and was the first player to achieve the 3,000 run and 300 wicket doubles in both Test and ODI cricket.

ICC Acting CEO Geoff Allardice said: “The ICC Hall of Fame is our way of honouring and celebrating the greats of our game. Only the very best players are recognized for their contribution to cricket in this way. I would like to congratulate Mahela and Shaun on their induction into this illustrious group and it is a wonderful way to commemorate Janette’s life and career.”

Reacting to the news of Brittin’s induction, Angela Bainbridge, friend of Janette Brittin said: “I would like to extend my thanks to the ICC for the incredible honour they have bestowed on Jan by inaugurating her into the Hall of Fame. I along with Jan’s parents Maggie and Kevin are incredibly proud of her and her achievements and this award recognises both the player and the person that she was. You could not wish to meet a more humble or talented player and she always gave 100% whether she played for club, county, or country.”

“Jan truly was a wonderful player and a fantastic role model for those that followed her. She would have loved to play in the professional forum that the girls enjoy today and would be proud of how they have all moved the game forward. It is sad that Jan is not able to collect this trophy herself, but her memory will live on.”

Mahela Jayawardena commented: “I am thrilled to have been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. It’s a very special honour to follow in the footsteps of legends Sanga and Murali from Sri Lanka and so many other great cricketers of the past.

“I am very grateful for the recognition and would like to enjoy and share the moment with all those that have helped me on my journey, including my family, friends, coaches, team-mates and, most importantly, Sri Lanka cricket fans who passionately supported and inspired me during my career.”

Shaun Pollock said: “I would like to thank the ICC for this recognition of my career. It’s an amazing honour to be included in the Hall of Fame alongside the very illustrious company that has already been inducted. It’s a real cherry on the top or maybe even a book end of what has been a thoroughly enjoyable cricketing experience and I’d like to thank my teammates who played such a massive part along the journey.”

Bro you are clearly questioning ICC HOF's credibility.

Shaun Pollock isn't the only legend who's not in HOF yet. There are many other greats who still await induction.

These things come slow that's exactly why they are so special.

Would you prefer ICC inducting 200 cricketers in HOF in one go based on some random ranking order?

It is like this so that 3 cricketers could get special honour and recognition once an year.

A giant of the game, one of all-time great all rounders in all formats has been inducted into ICC HOF and well deservingly.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) today announces the latest legends who join the prestigious list of cricketing greats that make up the ICC Hall of Fame.

Following a voting process that included existing Hall of Famers, media representatives plus senior executives from FICA and the ICC, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Charlotte Edwards and Abdul Qadir become inductees number 107, 108 and 109 respectively.

The ICC Hall of Fame celebrates the greatest players ever to grace the game throughout its rich history, and these three individuals have all left a lasting legacy through their significant contributions to the sport.

Following recent tradition, all three of the new inductees will be honoured in a special presentation ceremony which will take place prior to the start of play at the first semi-final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday 9 November.

ICC Chief Executive Geoff Allardice said: “The ICC Hall of Fame continues to celebrate the iconic individuals that have shaped the history of cricket. Only the very best are honoured in this way and it is wonderful to commemorate the lasting contributions of Shivnarine, Charlotte and Abdul. These three ambassadors of our great game enjoyed tremendous success on the international stage and are richly deserving of their status as ICC Hall of Famers.”

Shivnarine Chanderpaul

Shivnarine Chanderpaul is one of the most instantly recognisable figures in the history of West Indies cricket. With an unorthodox batting technique, he made his debut at 19 and quickly began to excel against opposition bowlers. Registering 13 half-centuries before his maiden Test century arrived, the floodgates then opened and he became the rock of the West Indies batting lineup over a 21-year international career. Resilience, control and an often impenetrable defence characterised his batting style, which was prolific enough to earn him 30 Test centuries, and eventually become the second West Indian to reach 10,000 Test runs. Not limited to the longest format, Chanderpaul also excelled in ODIs, amassing 8,778 runs in 268 outings.

Headline statistics:

He made his international debut v England in March 1994
164 Test matches, 11,867 runs at an average of 51.37
Eighth on the list of all time Test match runs
Holds the record of seven half-centuries in consecutive Test innings
268 ODIs, 8,778 runs at an average of 41.60

On the news of his induction, Chanderpaul commented: “It’s an amazing honour to follow the footsteps of many legends and so many other great cricketers of the past. I’m grateful for the recognition and would like to enjoy the moment with family, friends and most importantly the West Indies cricket fans and fans around the world who passionately supported me throughout my career.”


Charlotte Edwards

Over the course of a 20-year international career, Charlotte Edwards became one of the most significant players in the history of women’s cricket. Starting her international journey as a 16-year-old, she soon announced herself by striking a world-record unbeaten 173 against Ireland in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in Pune. As she developed and grew in influence in the side, she became captain from 2006, and inspired England to numerous Ashes victories at home and away, as well as ICC crowns in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in Australia in 2009 and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England the same year. When she retired in 2016, she left as the leading female run-scorer in both ODIs and T20Is.

Headline statistics:

23 Test matches, 1,676 runs at an average of 44.10
191 ODIs, 5,992 runs at an average of 38.16
She has the second highest number of half centuries in ODIs
95 T20Is, 2,605 runs at an average of 32.97

Reacting to joining the ICC Hall of Fame, Edwards said: “I would like to thank the ICC for this recognition of my career. It’s a massive honour to be included in the ICC Hall of Fame alongside the very illustrious company that has already been inducted. I’d like to thank and share this moment with my family and friends, my teammates and all of the coaches that have supported me throughout. I loved every minute of my international career and I’m absolutely delighted to be inducted into to the ICC Hall of Fame.”


Abdul Qadir

Qadir passed away in 2019 at the age of 63, but his influence of the game in Pakistan and the wider world is still felt strongly today. Often labelled the saviour of leg-spin bowling during the 1970s and 80s, Qadir was renowned for outfoxing some of the greatest batters in the game with his dynamic action and majestic variation. His 236 wickets across his 13-year career places him third in the list of Pakistan’s all-time prolific spinners. In limited overs cricket, he was a pioneer in wrist-spin techniques which can still be felt today, and he proved to be a pivotal figure in Pakistan’s 1983 and 1987 World Cup campaigns. Following his retirement, he turned to coaching, mentoring fellow countrymen Mushtaq Ahmed, Danish Kaneria and Shahid Afridi, as well as Australia's Shane Warne and South Africa's Imran Tahir.

Headline statistics:

67 Test matches, 236 wickets at an average of 32.80
Holds the national record for figures of 9-56 v England at Lahore in 1987
104 ODIs, 132 wickets at an average of 26.16

Usman Qadir, son of Abdul and current Pakistan international said: “On behalf of the family, I want to say thank you very much to the ICC for nominating my father for induction into the Hall of Fame. It is a very big honour for the family to hear of this news, we see it as a huge achievement, and one that my father would be very proud of if he was still with us today.”

ICC
 
Good list, but they should have include atleast 5 members per year. Long list of players are waiting for their due.
 
Three new inductees announced into ICC Hall of Fame

Three greats of the game have become the latest inductees to be added to the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

The ICC announced three new additions to the ICC Hall of Fame on Monday, with legendary opener Virender Sehwag, India trailblazer Diana Edulji and Sri Lanka superstar Aravinda de Silva the latest inductees.

Virender Sehwag

104 Tests – 8,586 runs at an average of 49.34, 40 wickets
251 ODIs – 8,273 runs at an average of 35.05, 96 wickets
19 T20Is – 394 runs at an average of 21.88

One of the most destructive batters of the modern era, Sehwag joins the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame with a record that is unable to be matched by many.

Sehwag scored a total of 23 Test centuries during his illustrious career - the fifth most by an India men's player - with his highest score of 319 against South Africa in Chennai in 2008 the best of any Indian player ever.

But it wasn't just against the red-ball that Sehwag thrived, with the dynamic right-hander just as effective against the white-ball with an equally imposing record at ODI level.

Sehwag totalled 8,273 runs for India in 50-over cricket and his 219 against the West Indies in Indore in 2011 remains the third-highest score achieved by any men's player at ODI level.

Sehwag also played a pivotal role in helping India claim their second ICC Men's Cricket World Cup title in 2011, with his 380 runs for the tournament the seventh-best for any player during the tournament.

The India great was thrilled to receive the honour of joining the ICC Hall of Fame.

“I would like to thank the ICC and the jury for inducting me with this honour," Sehwag said.

“I feel extremely grateful for having spent a great part of my life doing what I loved most, ‘hitting the cricket ball’.

“I would also like to thank my family, friends, people I played with, and countless people who prayed for me selflessly.”

Diana Edulji

20 Tests – 404 runs, 63 wickets at an average of 25.77
34 ODIs – 211 runs, 46 wickets at an average of 16.84

Edulji made just as big an impact on the field during her playing days when captain of India as she did as an administrator post-career and is a welcome addition to the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

Edulji played 54 matches for India over three different decades and made her mark as a slow left-arm orthodox spinner that netted more than 100 wickets for her country.

But it is perhaps off the field that Edulji has had an even greater impact, having played a major role as a trailblazer for India’s women’s cricketers for many decades.

In her role as administrator with Western Railways, Edulji worked hard to increase employment opportunities for talented female cricketers in India, and helped shape the sports policy of Western and Indian Railways.

Edulji said it was a massive honour to become the first female cricketer from India to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.

“At the outset, I would like to thank the ICC and the Jury for having selected me to be inducted in the ICC Hall Of Fame 2023," Edulji said.

“It indeed is a great honour to be the first Indian Women Cricketer to be inducted and join a galaxy of cricketers, male and female from across the world.

"I am delighted to be considered for this award. It's not only a proud moment for me, my family and friends but also for BCCI and Indian Women's Cricket.”

Aravinda de Silva

93 Tests – 6,361 runs at an average of 42.97, 29 wickets
308 ODIs – 9,284 runs at an average of 34.90, 106 wickets

A winner of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup with Sri Lanka in 1996 and a classy batter that valued his own wicket, de Silva joins the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2023.

The consistent right-hander scored 20 Test centuries during an 18-year international career - the third most hundreds by any Sri Lanka men's player - and was just as adept against the white-ball with another 11 centuries coming in 50-over cricket.

The most important of those was in the 1996 World Cup final, as de Silva almost single-handedly willed his side over the line against Australia with an unbeaten 107* in what was an unforgettable run chase.

A clever batter that always respected the situation of the game, de Silva was well renowned at being able to adapt the way he played depending on the circumstances and was an integral part in Sri Lanka's resurgence at the end of last century.

De Silva made special mention of the role his family had in helping guide his successful cricket career.

“I am filled with profound gratitude as I accept the immense honour of being inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. This achievement is a tribute to the dedication, sacrifice, and love that have shaped my cricketing journey," de Silva said.

"My family, my parents, my sister, my wife and children are my anchor, and deserve the deepest thanks for their unwavering support and sacrifice, which have propelled me towards success. My friends, steadfast companions throughout my highs and lows, have been my pillars of strength.

“To my coaches, teachers, fans and supporters, your relentless belief in me has fuelled my drive to succeed. My mentors and captains have guided and inspired me, and my teammates have been my extended family on this incredible journey. To the ones I have played against, thank you for enriching
my game.

“My sincere appreciation goes to the ICC, and the Hall of Fame voting committee for this extraordinary recognition. I share this honour with all who have stood by and shaped me.

“Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey.”

Congratulations to all 3! Sehwag certainly deserves the honor!
 
Congratulations Viru.

The most destructive test batter in the history of the game.
 
Who is Diana Edulji? They should have a separate hall of fame for females. No way she can be in the pantheon of greats (not her fault though).
 
Though Sehwag and deSilva deserve this honor, I'm not satisfied with the actual process of selecting players.

There are numerous great players waiting for their due, so including only 3 players per year don't make any sense.

Women cricketers should have different category and shouldn't be included in men's list.

Sehwag is one of my favorite player, but don't think he deserve this honor ahead of Hayden, Graeme Smith, Inzamam, Laxman, Ganguly and many others.

Similarly, Jayasuriya, Anwar, Vaas, Mark Waugh deserve this honor way earlier than de Silva (my personal opinion).

Disagree. De Silva should have been there ahead of Murali. Arjuna Ranatunga should have been there as well. These are two of the best cricketers Sri Lanka has ever produced. Sri Lanka won the ICC 50 over World Cup largely due to them.

The list has been very unfair to many greats. I wonder what the criteria of inclusion is.
 
A LETTER TO ARAVINDA DE SILVA, FROM MAHELA JAYAWARDENA

Following the ICC Hall of Fame announcement on 13 November 2023, open letters have been written to the inductees by those close to them, with their reactions to the news. Here, Mahela Jayawardena writes to inductee #110, Aravinda de Silva.

To Aravinda Aiya (big brother),

It is an honour to welcome you as the fourth Sri Lankan to be inducted to the ICC Hall of Fame. Though I can’t help thinking that if you asked any of the three of us already there – myself, Sanga [Kumar Sangakkara] or Murali [Muttiah Muralitharan] – we would all agree that it should have been you first.

We all grew up watching you and were part of a generation inspired by what you achieved. I remember the first time I met you, collecting your autograph when I was nine or 10. You were the new kid in the Sri Lankan team then but before long, you were our best batter. As young kids, we all looked at how you went about playing and tried to model our games on it.

I had coaches who told me to play a certain way but you showed the importance of adapting. Whether it was your stance or your backlift, it felt like you were consistently changing – it made it difficult to keep up! But it was a sign of your cricketing intelligence, something I would later be fortunate to tap into.

Of course, you will always be remembered for ‘that’ World Cup final in 1996, when you took three wickets and scored the amazing unbeaten century against Australia. Aged 18, I had a big final of my own that weekend, the last inter-school “big match” of my time at Nalanda College. Those two-day occasions were big deals and, on the Saturday, we must have had four or five thousand people in. On Sunday, it was down to just our parents and the prefects! Everyone else in Sri Lanka, it seemed, was watching the final you were involved in.

We finished our game early to watch the run chase and we were glued to our TVs. When you walked in, we were struggling on 23 for two, but you could see the determination in your eyes. You had shown that in the semi-finals as well, when were in trouble against India before you took the attack apart.

I will always remember how you took control in the final. The drives, the flicks, the pulls, and how you handled Shane Warne especially during that game-changing partnership for the third wicket, it was incredible. We partied in the streets long into the night and I treasure those memories.

You were a player who was a generation ahead of your time. Very aggressive and playing fast bowling better than anyone in that Sri Lankan line-up. In Australia, they would always try to intimidate the Sri Lankans but they never could with you. You would always take them down. Seeing that innings in the final against a quality Australian attack gave my generation the belief that this is the brand of cricket we need to play and that we are capable of. You gave us belief we could beat anyone in the world.

The fact that within a year I was sharing a dressing room with you and the rest of the World Cup winners was overwhelming. I was completely awestruck and on the first day of my Test debut, I walked into the dressing room, where everyone had their own places.

I had to wait around to see where a spot came up and I was lucky – there was a chair two spots down from you. From that point onwards, I realised this is a guy I wanted to talk to about cricket. I had to ask you questions and pick your brains and from that point onwards, that’s what I did, hopefully without you feeling badgered all the time! To bat with you in in my first Test, when we made the world record score of 952 for six against India, was an honour.

I have so much gratitude for the way you took me under your wing, having idolised you growing up. Sanga may have the numbers but if you ask either of us, you are the best batter Sri Lanka has ever produced. Your impact on Sri Lankan cricket cannot be matched and you showed us the way.

Being in the slip cordon alongside you was also an education. You would usually stand at first slip and we would talk about how the batter was shaping up. I remember how you would describe a weakness and outline how one of our bowlers could get him out. Vaasy [Chaminda Vaas] would bring the ball back in and it would happen, just as you said. It was fascinating.

I’m not sure your club teammates always had as enjoyable a time fielding with you, though. I still remember how much I laughed when Sanga told me the stories from your time at Nondescripts together. Whether it was taking off your shoes at first slip to ensure someone else would chase down anything that went through the cordon or scoffing tea buns out of your pocket, it sounds like there was never a dull moment. That’s something I can vouch for from our time in the dressing room together, though I soon learned I would not be able to keep up with you when it came to partying!

When it came to national team duty on the field, though, there was never any doubting how serious you were. We were the first generation to really grow up with that fitness culture and I remember you stressing its importance to us, with the game constantly evolving.

You fully deserve your place in the ICC Hall of Fame and I am very proud there are now four of us flying the Sri Lankan flag in there. Your place in Sri Lankan cricketing folklore is assured and I cannot thank you enough for the impact you have had on my career on and off the field.

Congratulations my friend.

Mahela

No criteria.. All depends on influence of the board.
Majority of Hall of famers are from either England or Australia.
Many of the players from England don't deserve the honour if you look at their ordinary stats in international cricket.

This may be the 1st time that all three inductees are from Asia. (May be due to BCCI's influence)
 
Cook, David and de Villiers inducted into The ICC Hall of Fame as Class of 2024

England Test great Alastair Cook becomes inductee number 113

India’s masterful spinner Neetu David honoured as inductee number 114

South African multi-format icon AB de Villiers is the 115th name on the long list of cricketing legends

Class of 2024 to be celebrated in Dubai this week as the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup draws to a close

The International Cricket Council (ICC) today revealed the latest crop of cricketing icons inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame as the Class of 2024.

Following a process conducted among existing Hall of Famers, senior executives and global cricket media, three names have been added to the long list of cricketing legends that comprise the ICC Hall of Fame: Alastair Cook, Neetu David and AB de Villiers, who join as inductees 113, 114 and 115 respectively.

The ICC Hall of Fame was launched in January 2009 as part of the ICC’s centenary celebrations. Since then, it has helped celebrate the greatest players ever to have graced the game during its long and illustrious history.

Cook represented England over 250 times in international cricket, making his most significant impact in the longest format. A talismanic figure with supreme consistency, he retired from international cricket in 2018 as England’s highest Test run-scorer and century-maker, spearheading notable successes both home and away with the bat and as captain.

David was a widely admired figure for India during her career thanks to her skilful left-arm spin, a weapon which saw her become the first Indian woman to take 100 wickets in One-Day Internationals (ODIs). Among her standout achievements, she hit the headlines when she topped the wicket-taking list at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in 2005 to inspire her country to their first final.

Completing the lineup is de Villiers, who enjoyed a remarkable career spanning 14 years, during which he hit over 20,000 international runs across all three formats. An innovative stroke-maker with an eye for the spectacular, as well as excelling in Test and T20I cricket, the South African set records for the fastest fifty, century and 150 in ODI cricket to earn a reputation of being one of the most feared, destructive batters in the history of the game.

The Class of 2024 will be celebrated in a special series of engagements in Dubai this week, coinciding with the eagerly anticipated conclusion of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

ICC Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Allardice commented: “We are delighted to announce the addition of Alastair, Neetu and AB to the long list of cricketing icons that form the illustrious ICC Hall of Fame, as the Class of 2024.

“Once again, we find ourselves celebrating not only truly great players, but elite innovators, record-breakers and passionate competitors that excelled on the field of play during their glittering international careers.

“Beyond their remarkable statistics spanning all formats of the game, all three have made significant contributions to the way the game is played today and are worthy additions to the ICC Hall of Fame. We look forward to acknowledging their lasting legacies in Dubai later this week.”

Alastair Cook: “I am delighted to have been chosen to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. It is a huge honour to join some of the greatest players to have ever played the game.

“I have always felt very fortunate to have had the opportunity to play for Essex and England and so to have this latest honour given to me just makes it all the more special.”

Neetu David: “It is truly an honour to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, something that I consider to be the highest recognition available to anyone who puts on their national team jersey. This comes after a lifetime of dedication to this great sport, and it caps a very special journey for me to get to this point.

“To be considered a Hall of Famer alongside the greatest players that ever lived is humbling, and I am thrilled to be part of this exclusive club.

“I would like to thank the ICC for the recognition, as well as all the BCCI, my teammates, coaches, family and friends that were a constant source of support throughout my career.”

AB de Villiers: “It is a tremendous honour to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, joining a select group of cricketers to be recognised in this way.

“Cricket is often described as an individual sport within a team game… and it’s true that, whether you are a batsman taking guard at the crease or a bowler pausing at the start of his run-up, you - and only you - are responsible for what happens.

“That said, everyone who plays cricket understands it is, in spirit, a team game.

“And I know I would have achieved nothing without the help and support of so many teammates, coaches and support staff from my early days at school in Pretoria, through so many memorable days at the Titans and with the South Africa team - and, indeed in franchise cricket - all around the world.

“To all of them, to the ICC, and supporters around the world, thank you.”

Alastair Cook

161 Tests – 12,472 runs at an average of 45.35, 1 wicket

92 ODIs – 3,204 runs at an average of 36.40

4 T20Is - 61 runs at an average of 15.25

Cook made his introduction to international cricket in spectacular fashion in 2006, hitting a century and half-century against India in Nagpur as a 21-year-old.

His was the England wicket the opposition valued the most over the course of his career, with success coming all over the world. His strong back-foot play helped him score runs on the bouncy tracks in Australia while his ability to play on the front-foot and use his height and long stride led to tremendous success in subcontinent conditions, and he ended with more Test runs in Asia than any other visiting batter.

His prolific run-scoring and captaincy were key features in a number of notable team successes during his career. He won two home Ashes Series as captain in 2013 and 2015 and was Player of the Series in the historic 2010-11 win in Australia, when he scored 766 runs at an average of 127.66. He also captained England to their first series win in India for 28 years in 2012-13, scoring three centuries in the process.

Beyond the Test arena, Cook scored more than 3,000 ODI runs and led his country to the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 on home soil.

At the time of his international retirement, he was England's highest run-scorer and century-maker in Test cricket, had taken the most catches and had set a world record with 159 successive Test appearances. He signed off from Test cricket in the same way he started – with a century and half-century against India.

Neetu David

10 Tests - 41 wickets at 18.90

97 ODIs - 141 wickets at 16.34

David was a prodigious talent when she debuted for India in February 1995, taking up the mantle of India’s frontline left-arm spinner after the retirement of the influential Diana Edulji. She made an immediate mark in her debut Test Match against New Zealand at Nelson, taking four for 51 in her 30 overs, which included the prize wicket of fellow ICC Hall of Famer, Debbie Hockley.

Early success in the ODI format set her on the path to becoming the first woman from her country to take 100 ODI wickets, a feat which included a memorable campaign in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2005 in South Africa, where she topped the list of wicket-takers with 20 wickets at just 8.35 apiece to help India to the final for the first time.

She remains second on India’s leading ODI wicket-taker list, and her bowling average of 16.34 is the best by any bowler who took at least 100 wickets in that format – male or female.

She marked the 100th Women’s Test to be played with figures of eight for 53 against England at Jamshedpur, the first eight-wicket haul in Women’s Test cricket and figures which remain a world record to this day.

Having originally announced her retirement from international cricket in June 2006, she subsequently reversed that decision in time to help India win the 2008 Asia Cup in Sri Lanka.

AB de Villiers

114 Tests – 8,765 runs at an average of 50.66 plus 222 catches & 5 stumpings

228 ODIs – 9,577 runs at an average of 53.50 plus 176 catches & 5 stumpings

78 T20Is – 1,672 runs at an average of 26.12 plus 65 catches & 7 stumpings

De Villiers made his debut for South Africa in 2004 and by the end of his first series, he had scored his first Test century, as well as having established himself as a superb wicket-keeper.

A glittering Test career followed - an unbeaten innings of 278 against Pakistan at Abu Dhabi in 2010 was briefly the highest individual score for South Africa in Test cricket and three years later his 11 catches behind the stumps against the same opposition in Johannesburg equalled the Test record for the most dismissals in a match.

He topped the ICC Player Rankings in Tests, where he blended exquisite stroke-play with resolute defence at times. He also went on to top the rankings in the ODI format, where his athleticism, explosiveness and ingenuity earned him the affectionate nickname of ‘Mr 360’ among global fans.

In 2015 he set blistering new records for the fastest 50, 100 and 150 in ODIs during unforgettable innings of 149 and 162 not out against the West Indies, the latter of which came in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2015 at Sydney.

He retired from all formats in 2018 averaging over 50 in both Tests and ODIs, and thanks to a specialist skillset in T20Is, he flourished in in franchise leagues around the world.
 
Congratulations to the new inductees.

Well deserved.

Alastair Cook , one of England’s Top 25 test cricketers ever.

AB de Villiers a Top 100 level international cricketer. Well done

In my opinion Sehwag got that award before Smith and Hayden only due to influence of BCCI.. Yes, he deserve it, but not before Hayden, Jayasuriya or Chanderpaul.

When ECB and CA were leaders of cricket world, many undeserving cricketers got that award. In inaugural HOF, they included 90% players from either Aus or Eng.. Yes, they started playing early, but still that was bad thing to do

It's mostly England biased. Most Australians are well deserved. You see the likes of Hayden, Clarke, Johnson not getting due yet. Unfortunately not much support for Pakistan either.
