The ICC Hall of Fame has inducted seven more legends today during a program held in London called "A Day with Legends." Previously, there were 115 members in the ICC Hall of Fame, and now the number has risen to 122. The last such ceremony took place in Dubai during the ICC Women's T20 World Cup final, where a few legends were also inducted.

This ceremony, held just before the WTC final, included five male and two female cricketers. Let's look at who they are. First, Matthew Hayden, Australia's destructive opener who shook the cricket world, has been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Next, our very own MS Dhoni, who has written a remarkable history in Indian cricket with iconic achievements and tales of great battles. We’ve already covered MS Dhoni’s Hall of Fame induction in detail, so we won’t elaborate again. Then, there’s Hashim Amla, described by the ICC as "cool, calm, and composed." The South African star, who shone in both ODI and Test cricket, has also been inducted. Another South African, the stylish batter and gifted captain Graeme Smith, joins the Hall of Fame as well. New Zealand’s spin maestro, adept all-rounder, and stellar leader Daniel Vettori has also been included, as noted by the ICC.

Two women cricketers have been inducted as well. Pakistan’s Sana Mir, the first female cricketer from Pakistan to enter the ICC Hall of Fame, is celebrated for revolutionizing the sport for young girls both on and off the field, as per the ICC’s official account. Additionally, England’s Sarah Taylor, recognized for her titles and accolades as one of the finest wicketkeepers to have played the game, has also been inducted.

In total, seven cricketers have been added to the ICC Hall of Fame today: MS Dhoni, Matthew Hayden, Hashim Amla, Graeme Smith, Daniel Vettori, Sana Mir, and Sarah Taylor. That concludes today’s update, and we’ll be back with more cricket news soon.
