Inzamam-ul-Haq, Misbah-ul-Haq, Mushtaq Mohammad and Saeed Anwar have been named as new inductees into the Hall of Fame constituted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The PCB said in a statement that the legendary quartet was voted into the select club by an 11-member independent panel that included fellow Hall of Famers, women international cricketers and journalists, adding that four inductions were made for 2024 after no one was included in for 2023. “The four stalwarts will be formally inducted into the PCB Hall of Fame during the course of the year when they will be presented with commemorative caps and specially designed plaques,” it further said.

Inzamam, Misbah, Mushtaq and Anwar are joining Abdul Qadir, AH Kardar, Fazal Mahmood, Hanif Mohammad, Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Younis Khan and Zaheer Abbas in the illustrious group.
