The International Cricket Council (ICC) inducts former captains Sourav Ganguly of India, Anjum Chopra of India, and Kevin Pietersen of England into its ICC Hall of Fame. Multiple outlets report that the ICC announces the new members at a ceremony held in Edinburgh. The inductions include leadership roles from both India’s men’s and women’s cricket, with Chopra recognized for her achievements as a former women’s captain. ICC chairman Jay Shah is quoted in The Hindu praising the players for leading their national teams and describing the honour as deserved. ESPN Cricinfo reports that the ceremony brings the total number of ICC Hall of Fame members to 125. Deccan Chronicle adds context on Ganguly’s impact on Indian cricket, including how his captaincy period comes after a match-fixing-related crisis for the sport in the country. Across reports, the focus remains on the ICC’s formal recognition of the three players’ contributions and leadership, with the inductions confirmed by the ICC and covered by multiple outlets.
