Imran Khan Among Legendary Cricketers Into Hall of Fame
In an effort to further acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of Pakistan cricket stalwarts; the Board of Governors of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB); unanimously supported and approved the launch of the PCB Hall of Fame.
Initially, six members from the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame will be inducted into the PCB Hall of Fame. There will be three more inductions each year from 2021 with the inductees to be chosen by an independent panel and announced on 16 October, day one of Pakistan’s inaugural Test in 1952.
Players who retired from international cricket for, at least, five years will be eligible for induction into the PCB Hall of Fame.
PCB Chairman, Ehsan Mani, said:
Since earning the Test status, Pakistan has produced world-renowned cricketers; who have not only put Pakistan on the world map but have left their mark on world cricket.
“There will be an initial intake of six ICC Cricket Hall of Famers – Hanif Mohammad, Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and Zaheer Abbas; who will be supplemented by three inductions in the PCB Hall of Fame each year starting from 16 October 2021. It is appropriate that these six extraordinary performers be the founding inductees; as they continue to inspire the next generation of superstars.”
