The ICC Hall of Fame 2024 inductees list has been announced just days before the World Test Championship final. This year’s group includes legendary names like MS Dhoni, Matthew Hayden, Sarah Taylor, Hashim Amla, Graeme Smith, Sana Mir, and Daniel Vettori.

MS Dhoni Joins ICC Hall of Fame Legends

Among the ICC Hall of Fame 2024 inductees, Dhoni stands out for his unique achievements. Not only did he captain India to victories in all three ICC white-ball trophies, but he also hit the winning runs in the 2011 ODI World Cup. His career included over 10,000 ODI runs with an average above 50. Furthermore, he led India to the top of the Test rankings during his tenure.

Sana Mir Becomes First Pakistani Woman in Hall of Fame

Significantly, ICC Hall of Fame 2024 inductees featured Pakistan’s Sana Mir, the first woman from her country to be honored. She captained Pakistan in multiple formats and was instrumental in two Asian Games gold-medal victories. Additionally, she topped the ICC ODI bowler rankings in 2018 and retired as Pakistan’s leading ODI wicket-taker.

Sarah Taylor Honored for Transforming Women’s Cricket

Sarah Taylor’s role in England’s 2009 and 2017 World Cup wins earned her a spot among the ICC Hall of Fame 2024 inductees. Through exceptional wicketkeeping and honest conversations about mental health, she became a trailblazer for women in cricket.

Smith, Amla, and Hayden Cement Their Legacies

South Africa’s Graeme Smith captained the most Tests in history, while Hashim Amla remains the only South African with a Test triple-century. Australia’s Matthew Hayden dominated both 2003 and 2007 World Cups and scored over 30 Test centuries. Their inclusion in the ICC Hall of Fame 2024 inductees affirms their massive impact.

Daniel Vettori Recognized for All-Round Excellence

New Zealand’s Daniel Vettori was also named among the ICC Hall of Fame 2024 inductees. Having scored 4000 Test runs and taken 300 wickets, he joined an elite group of all-rounders. He also led New Zealand to a Champions Trophy final appearance in 2009.
