Three legends of the game unveiled as the newest ICC Hall of Fame inductees

Alastair Cook

161 Tests – 12,472 runs at an average of 45.35, one wicket
92 ODIs – 3,204 runs at an average of 36.40
4 T20Is – 61 runs at an average of 15.25

One of the finest opening batters in the history of Test cricket, England great Alastair Cook further cements his cricketing legacy by winning a place in the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

Neetu David

10 Tests – 41 wickets at an average of 18.90, 25 runs
97 ODIs – 141 wickets at an average of 16.34, 74 runs

Neetu David is the second woman from India to make it into the ICC Hall of Fame following the induction of Diana Edulji in 2023 and it should come as no surprise given the mark she has made on cricket in her country both on and off the field.

AB de Villiers

114 Tests – 8,765 runs at an average of 50.66, 2 wickets
228 ODIs – 9,577 runs at an average of 53.50, 7 wickets
78 T20Is – 1,672 runs at an average of 26.12

Able to score around the ground with a full array of shots against all types of bowlers, AB de Villiers is regarded as both one of the most innovative and destructive batters in the modern game and a deserved member of the ICC Hall of Fame.

De Villiers made a lasting impact during a 14-year international career, scoring more than 20,000 international runs across all three formats, while also revered as one of the greatest fielders to grace the game.
