About the ICC Hall of Fame

The ICC Cricket Hall of Fame was launched in 2009 during the ICC Centenary celebrations. It initially inducted 55 of the greatest cricketers in history, representing the sport's rich heritage across all eras. Since then, new inductees have been added each year, continuing to honour outstanding contributions to the game.

The Hall of Fame recognises cricketers from both the men's and women's game, acknowledging that excellence in cricket transcends gender. Inductees are chosen by a voting academy comprising cricket journalists, commentators, former players, and ICC officials. Each inductee receives a commemorative cap and is honoured at a special ceremony.

The Hall of Fame celebrates cricketers who have demonstrated sustained excellence, sportsmanship, and significant impact on the sport. From the early days of Test cricket to the modern T20 era, the Hall of Fame tells the story of cricket's evolution through its greatest practitioners. It serves as a permanent tribute to those who have dedicated their lives to the game and inspired generations of players and fans worldwide.
