Sana Mir makes history as first Pakistani woman in ICC hall of fame.

Sana Mir, the former captain of Pakistan's women's cricket team, was recently inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. This historic achievement makes her the first Pakistani woman to receive this prestigious honor. The induction ceremony took place ahead of the World Test Championship final, where West Indies legend Ian Bishop unveiled the 2025 inductees. Sana Mir, who represented Pakistan from 2005 to 2019, is celebrated as a trailblazer for women's cricket in Pakistan. 

Pakistan, June 11 -- Former Pakistan captain Sana Mir has become the first Pakistani woman to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. This honor highlights her long and successful career and breaks new ground for women in Pakistani sports. In a heartfelt message on social media, Mir said the recognition was not just for her, but for every girl who picks up a bat or ball, even when told it's not for them.
Mir reflected on her journey from a young girl with a dream to a cricket legend. She shared that as a child; she only hoped Pakistan would someday have a women's team. Today, she stands among the sport's greatest players. She thanked the ICC jury and promised to carry the honor with the same strength that helped her rise to the top.

Her message also focused on the struggles women face in sports, especially in countries like Pakistan. She dedicated her achievement to all women who defy expectations, whether on the field, at home, or in society. She thanked her family, teammates, and coaches for supporting her and ended her message by thanking Pakistan for letting her wear its colors.

Since her debut in 2005, Mir has played 226 international matches. She is one of only nine women with both 100 ODI wickets and 1,000 runs. She led Pakistan in two World Cups and five T20 World Cups. Her work off the field also earned respect, as she stood against body shaming and supported mental health and Covid-19 relief.

Only 15 women have ever been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. Mir joins legends like Rachael Hayhoe Flint and Lisa Sthalekar, along with England's Sarah Taylor this year. Her induction not only honours her talent but also opens the door wider for future generations of Pakistani girls in cricket.
