Imran Khan is the fourth Pakistani to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.
LONDON: Cricket legend Imran Khan has become the fourth Pakistani to be inducted formally into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame at Lord’s.
The former captain received his commemorative cap from ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat, who was accompanied by PCB Chairman and ICC Director Ijaz Butt, Cricket Australia Chairman and ICC Director Jack Clarke and the MCC President John Barclay. Imran joins batsmen Hanif Muhammad and Javed Miandad as Pakistan’s representatives in the initial intake of 55 players into the Hall of Fame, a joint venture between the ICC and the Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations.
Wasim Akram, who was voted in at the end of 2009, joined the trio last year. After the presentation, Imran said it was a great honour for him to be inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame and to be recognised for his cricketing achievements for Pakistan.

@Sleepless in Karachi
You mean making a dent in Pakistan political scene through cricket or talking about cricket? Do you really think that how the world works?Recommend
he deserve it.Recommend
He will prove himself in politics if given a chance…its not the time to decide his life as a politician…he will take his time and reach up to the mark !! and he was always a player to be in the Hall of Fame !! a great captain and an extraordinary all-rounder !!!Recommend
Congrats and All the best, IK…Recommend
Congrats! to the great former Captain and for me the best bowler ever. Long due for his marvelous achievements in cricket. A lot of fast bowlers have come and gone since he retired but I for one still cannot forget his exhilarating run up, exquisite jump and the most stylish bowling action I have ever witnessed in the game of cricket. All in all it used to be a treat to watch him play at the peak of his career, especially in the series against England, when Pakistan toured England under his captaincy.Recommend
congrates Imran, late decision taken y ICC.imran was a great player and a person, he commits some mistakes but he admits thats the greatness….. atleast we can say we have a single loyal and educated politician. and the second thing success is not just to win some seats …….. aaint congrates and best of luck in PoliticsRecommend
this time he was beaten by our karachi boy “JAVED MIADAD”Recommend
Great Cricketer!!!
Of those few great men who have if anything brought good name to Pakistan. No wonder his Mianwali Chappal walk in Oxford street, his Chancellorship of Bradford University, his endeavors in health and education in Pakistan spring from his dynamism, clearly shining in ’92, clearly visible at Johar Town Lahore!!
Shame on these defeatists like Tanzeel and zubairi who cannot see beyond and without local jingoistic blindfold of MQMism. Please learn to appreciate Pakistanis of great repute, as Pakistanis!Recommend
Some respite to Pakistan cricket in troubled times.
Khan’s always done Pakistan proud!Recommend
Congrats Imran !!! Better late than never. Wasim Akram is not even a patch on your bowling, batting and leadership qualities. What crawled into the ICC minds is beyond many.
Keep up the good work of your hospital and university and PLEASE quit politics. You are a better person when not in this foulest of public activities. Pray you become the PCB chairman.
With best wishes.Recommend
