The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has inducted former batter Mohammad Yousaf and former women’s captain Sana Mir into its 2025 Hall of Fame.
Mir qualified automatically under the board’s induction criteria after becoming the first Pakistani woman admitted to the International Cricket Council (ICC) Cricket Hall of Fame in 2025.
Yousaf secured his place through a voting process involving former players and cricket journalists.
The selection panel included PCB Hall of Famer Zaheer Abbas, former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja, former Test cricketer Bazid Khan, and former women’s captain Urooj Mumtaz. Journalists and analysts Saleem Khaliq and Sohail Imran also participated.
In its announcement, the board recognised both inductees’ contributions to Pakistan cricket across their international careers.
Yousaf represented Pakistan from 1998 to 2010. According to the PCB’s account, he scored 17,300 runs in 381 international matches, including 39 centuries and 97 half-centuries.
His record-breaking Test season came in 2006. During that calendar year, he scored 1,788 runs and nine centuries, surpassing Sir Vivian Richards’ 30-year-old record for the most Test runs in a year.
Mir’s international career ran from 2005 to 2019. Across 226 matches, she took 240 wickets and scored 2,432 runs.
In October 2018, she became the first Pakistani woman to lead the ICC women’s one-day international bowling rankings. As captain, she guided Pakistan to Asian Games gold medals in 2010 and 2014.
Her international Hall of Fame recognition preceded her inclusion in the board’s own roll of honour.
Yousaf and Mir join previous inductees Abdul Qadir, AH Kardar, Fazal Mahmood, Hanif Mohammad, Imran Khan, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Javed Miandad.
