KARACHI: Pakistan cricket great Hanif Mohammad will be posthumously inducted into the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Hall of Fame on February 12, with his son Shoaib Mohammad set to receive the commemorative plaque and cap, said PCB sources.
Hanif, who was among the initial inductees announced in 2021, had his formal induction ceremony delayed due to various factors, including management changes and scheduling conflicts.
“Yes, but due to various reasons – sometimes due to non-availabilities and sometimes due to management changes – this couldn’t take place earlier,” a PCB source told Reuters.
The ceremony will be held during Pakistan’s triangular series match against South Africa in Karachi, marking the first international match in the city since May 2023, the source added.
Meanwhile, the formal inductions of former cricketers Saeed Anwar and Mushtaq Mohammad will take place after the 2025 Champions Trophy, as the players were unavailable for the current series.
“Saeed Anwar was not available due to his prior commitments while Mushtaq Mohammad is overseas. Their inductions will take place after CT25 as and when they are available,” the source said.
