Pakistan cricket legend Hanif Mohammad will posthumously receive his induction into the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Hall of Fame on February 12, sources revealed.
Hanif’s son, Shoaib Mohammad, will accept the commemorative plaque and cap on his behalf, PCB sources confirmed.
Hanif Mohammad, one of Pakistan’s greatest-ever batters and an original inductee from the PCB’s 2021 Hall of Fame announcement, had his formal induction delayed due to multiple factors, including scheduling conflicts and management changes.
“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 said.
The induction will take place during Pakistan’s tri-nation ODI series clash against South Africa in Karachi.

Meanwhile, formal inductions of former cricketers Saeed Anwar and Mushtaq Mohammad have been pushed beyond the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 due to their unavailability during the ongoing 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 PCB source added.
Last week, the PCB formally inducted former captains Inzamam-ul-Haq and Misbah-ul-Haq into the Hall of Fame during Pakistan’s opening match of the tri-nation ODI series against New Zealand.
PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi presented the duo with their commemorative caps and plaques, followed by a lap of honor around the stadium, receiving an ovation from the crowd.
