PCB formally inducts Fazal Mahmood into the Hall of Fame

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has formally inducted former Pakistan great, Fazal Mahmood, into the Hall of Fame, here at Gaddafi Stadium on Friday.

The legendary right-arm pacer took a total of 139 wickets and scored 620 runs during his international career, has been inducted into the elite list of PCB’s Hall of Fame.

Fazal is regarded as Pakistan Cricket’s torchbearer; he was a member of the national squad that defeated India at their home stadium in 1952, thanks to his outstanding bowling performance.

He is also the first Pakistani cricketer to feature in Wisden’s Five Cricketers of the Year in 1955.

PCB CEO Faisal Hasnain awarded the late’s daughter Shaista Mahmood and son Shehzad Mahmood with commemorative caps and plaques prior to the second eliminator of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 7.

Furthermore, Fazal has already been awarded the Pride of Performance Award in 1958 for his outstanding performance, the highest national honour in Pakistan. In 2012, however, he was awarded Hilal Imtiaz (Pakistan’s second-largest civil award).

It is worth mentioning here that the PCB recently inducted the legendary left-arm pacer, Wasim Akram, into the elite list of PCB’s Hall of Fame. West Indian great and ICC Hall of Famer Sir Vivian Richards presented Wasim with the commemorative cap and Plaque ahead of the PSL 7 fixture between Karachi Kings and Quetta Gladiators.

Late cricketers Fazal, Qadir included in PCB’s Hall of Fame

LAHORE: Former Test cricketers late Fazal Mahmood and late Abdul Qadir have been included in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s Hall of Fame. 

Two of the great Pakistani cricketers joined other greats in the list including Hanif Mohammad, Imran Khan, Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Zaheer Abbas.

PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja: “It is befitting that Fazal Mahmood and Abdul Qadir, legends from two different eras, be voted by their peers and admirers into the PCB Hall of Fame for 2021. This is a testament to their enormous popularity and is also a recognition of their services to this great game.

“Fazal’s heroics in the early days introduced Pakistan cricket to the world as a force to be reckoned with and later inspired the next generations of fast bowlers. The wily, crafty and magical Abdul Qadir revived and reignited the slowly vanishing art of wrist-spin bowling.

“Fazal Mahmood and Abdul Qadir are all-time greats and truly outstanding ambassadors for Pakistan and global cricket. This is just a small token of our appreciation and gratitude towards their contributions.â€
