Only 3 Indians in ICC Hall of Fame


Mumbai, June 28: Only three Indian greats, left-arm spin legend Bishen Singh Bedi, prolific opener Sunil Gavaskar and champion all-rounder Kapil Dev, have been named by the International Cricket Council in its 55-strong Hall of Famers list, which has 22 Englishmen in it.

The ICC, while announcing Colin Cowdrey as the 19th cricketer to be formally inducted in its elite list of cricket greats, provided the list of persons who have been chosen for the Hall of Fame, but yet to be formally inducted.

The list contains 22 Englishmen, 11 Australians, 13 West Indians, three each from India, Pakistan and two South Africans and a lone New Zealander. Apparently the list does not contain cricketers who have retired post-1995.

"The Hall of Fame recognises some of the truly great players from crickets long and illustrious history", ICC said while naming former England captain Cowdrey and its first chairman as its 19th formal inductee.

The world governing council for the game, celebrating its centenary year, also said that further cap presentations will be made during the course of the year and a limited number of inductees, in addition to the 55 already chosen, will be also named.
