The ICC Cricket Hall of Fame is a Hall of Fame honouring the greatest achievers in the sport of cricket. It was launched by the International Cricket Council on 2 January 2009, in association with the Federation of International Cricketers' Associations, as part of the ICC's centenary celebrations. The initial inductees were the 55 players included in the earlier FICA Hall of Fame, but more will be added each year during the ICC Awards ceremony.[1]
