Stats: Full list of players in ICC Cricket Hall of Fame

On 2nd January 2009, the International Cricket Council (ICC) launched the Cricket Hall of Fame to commemorate the achievements of the greatest players in the history of the sport. Cricket's governing body launched the prestigious venture by collaborating with the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations (FICA).

On 1st July 2018, legendary Indian batsman Rahul Dravid, exalted Australian skipper Ricky Ponting and venerated batter Claire Taylor became the latest inductees into ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

The trio were ushered into the elite club during an official ceremony at Dublin. Their inclusion has now increased the total number of members in the distinguished list to 87. While Dravid is only the fifth Indian in the Hall of Fame, Ponting and Taylor are the 25th Australia and 28th England cricketers respectively.

In order to commensurate with the organization's centenary celebrations, the ICC initially inducted as many as 55 iconic cricketers to the Hall of Fame during January 2009. More great players were added to the illustrious group in the ensuing years.

At the moment, there are 87 cricketers in the Hall of Fame. Across three nations, there are seven women’s players in the luminous list. With 28 eminent names, England have the highest number of representatives. Australia closely follow on their heels with 25 inclusions. West Indies round off the top three with 18 of their best players.

India and Pakistan have five representatives each in the acclaimed set. Three New Zealand players, two from South Africa and one Sri Lankan complete the current membership.

Each living inductee or the closest relative of every departed inductee receive a special cap to commemorate the process of entering the Hall of Fame. Ostensibly, the foremost criteria of all chosen greats is that they should have been retired for a minimum period of five years from the international arena during the time of their selection.

Here is the complete list of players in the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame. After being segregated by country, the cricketers are arranged in order of their year of induction and alphabetized by their surnames.

All statistics ranging from matches played to runs scored and wickets taken are total numbers combined from all formats of international cricket. For wicket-keepers, their overall career dismissals are provided in place of wickets.
