The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced its PCB Hall of Fame Class of 2024 on Friday, honoring four legendary cricketers for their exceptional contributions to Pakistan cricket.

This year is special as four players are being inducted instead of the usual two, an exception made due to the absence of inductions in 2023.

The PCB Hall of Fame was established to recognize Pakistan’s cricketing legends. Previous inductees include Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and Javed Miandad.

The independent selection panel for 2024 comprised cricketing legends Wasim Akram and Zaheer Abbas, former captain Azhar Ali, ex-women cricketers Bismah Maroof and Nain Abidi, and cricket analysts including Majid Bhatti, Mohi Shah, and Nauman Niaz.

Legendary Nominees

• Inzamam-ul-Haq: A vital player from 1991 to 2007, Inzamam was part of the 1992 World Cup-winning squad and remains one of Pakistan’s greatest middle-order batters.
• Misbah-ul-Haq: Known for his leadership and resilience, Misbah led Pakistan to the top of the ICC Test Team Rankings in 2016 and achieved a historic Test series win in the Caribbean.
• Mushtaq Mohammad: A pioneer in leadership, Mushtaq captained Pakistan to their first Test win in Australia and coached the team to the 1999 World Cup final.
• Saeed Anwar: Renowned for his elegant batting, Saeed scored 31 centuries and 68 half-centuries, leaving a lasting legacy in international cricket.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi congratulated the inductees, calling the honor a tribute to their outstanding contributions to Pakistan cricket and the global game
