ICC Hall of Fame 2025: Seven Legends to Be Honoured on June 9 in London

In a moment that promises to echo through the annals of cricket history, the International Cricket Council (ICC) will induct seven iconic players into its Hall of Fame during a grand ceremony in London on June 9 — just two days before the much-anticipated World Test Championship Final between South Africa and Australia at Lord’s.

This is no ordinary induction. It’s a celebration of grit, grace, and cricketing greatness.

🌍 Six Nations, Seven Legends, Endless Legacy

This year’s class of Hall of Fame inductees includes five men and two women, representing six cricketing nations. The diversity of this lineup speaks to the global heartbeat of the game — and the ICC isn’t just looking at numbers or trophies. It’s honouring impact. It’s celebrating those who changed the narrative of cricket in their era.

Each inductee will receive a commemorative cap — a small symbol with massive meaning.

And no, we don’t know who the names are just yet. The ICC has kept that tightly under wraps. But that only adds to the suspense and the spectacle.

🎥 Watch It Live — Wherever You Are

This ceremony isn’t just for those in suits in a London ballroom. It’s for every fan who ever woke up at 3 AM to watch a Test match, or screamed at their screen during a final over thriller.

🧠 Before the Clash, a Moment to Reflect

The ceremony will also feature the two captains about to lead their nations into battle: Temba Bavuma (SA) and Pat Cummins (AUS). They’ll offer fans a behind-the-scenes look at how they're preparing for the WTC Final, adding a strategic twist to an otherwise reflective evening.

It’s cricket looking backward and forward in the same breath.

💬 Why This Matters

This isn’t just nostalgia. This is canon-building.

It’s the ICC telling the world: These are the people who made the game what it is. And the inclusion of two women cricketers? That’s not just overdue — it’s historic. It’s a message to every young girl picking up a bat today that her story matters just as much.
