“Mushtaq Mohammad is regarded as one of Pakistan’s finest captains, known for his shrewd leadership and inspirational style. Inzamam-ul-Haq’s immense talent and match-winning abilities have left an indelible mark on the sport. Misbah-ul-Haq took charge of the Pakistani team in challenging times, guided it to the top of Test rankings and achieved a historic series win in the Caribbean, with its natural grace and classical technique, redefined the role of an opener and thrived against some of the world’s best bowlers in all conditions.

“I owe immense gratitude to my fellow cricketers, dedicated support staff and my family without whom this journey would not have been possible,” Inzamam said. “To represent Pakistan in an era with such high caliber players was a privilege and their influence played a vital role in my growth and development as a batsman.”

“It is humbling to join the ranks of my childhood heroes and teammates with whom I shared and celebrated some of the most defining moments of Pakistan cricket,” said Anwar. “As an opener, I was privileged to play in an era marked by some of the most talented and skilled cricketers to represent Pakistan. I loved every moment laying the foundations of our team, taking on the world’s best bowlers and partnering with match winners for to bring joy to our fans.”

Misbah is among Pakistan’s most successful Test captains. He took over the captaincy after the spot-fixing scandal in 2010 and led Pakistan to the no. 1 ranking in 2016.

“Representing Pakistan was an absolute privilege, captaining the team was a deep honor and this recognition from the Pakistan Cricket Board serves as the perfect crown to my journey,” Misbah said.

Mushtaq made his Test debut at the age of 15 in 1959 and remained the youngest debutant in Test cricket until 1996. He scored his first Test hundred at the age of 17 and went on to play 57 Tests and ten ODIs. He memorably led Pakistan to their first Test win in Australia.

“To be honored and recognized 45 years after playing my last match for Pakistan is truly humbling,” Mushtaq said. “To join a small group of some of the best cricketers, including my legendary brother Hanif, is even more gratifying.”

The inductees were voted in by an 11-member independent panel that included existing Hall of Famers Wasim Akram Zaheer Abbas, former Pakistan players Azhar Ali, Bismah Maroof and Nain Abidi and six cricket journalists and analysts.
