Sana Mir made history as the first Pakistani woman inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame. The International Cricket Council honoured her along with six other cricketers, MS Dhoni, Matthew Hayden, Daniel Vettori, Sarah Taylor, Hashim Amla, and Graeme Smith.
This marks a major milestone for women’s cricket and Pakistan’s sporting journey.
Mir reached several important career milestones. She was the first Pakistani woman to take 100 ODI wickets. She ended her ODI career with 151 wickets in 121 matches. In T20Is, she took 89 wickets in 106 games.
She has scored 1,630 runs in ODIs and 820 in T20Is. Her leadership led Pakistan to Asian Games gold medals in 2010 and 2014.
“From dreaming as a little girl that one day there would even be a women’s team in our country to now standing here, inducted among the very legends I idolised long before I ever held a bat or a ball — this is a moment I couldn’t have dared to imagine,” Mir said.
“I am incredibly grateful for this honour and hope to give back to the sport in any way I can. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my teammates, coaches and family for all their support over the years.”

Mir was the first Pakistani woman to win the PCB Cricketer of the Year award. She also made an impact off the field when she spoke against body shaming. The ICC praised her efforts for doing so. They also noted her work for mental health and support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
