LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi on Tuesday extended his congratulations to the former women’s team captain Sana Mir on her induction into the ICC Hall of Fame.
In an official statement, Naqvi heaped praise on Mir’s extraordinary journey and her invaluable contributions to the game.
“Well done, Sana Mir. The daughter of Pakistan has brought immense pride to our homeland. She raised the green crescent flag high and brought global recognition to Pakistan,” said Naqvi.
He went on to describe Mir as a national treasure and a true beacon of inspiration for aspiring female athletes across the country.
“Sana Mir is not just a cricketer — she is a symbol of hope, strength and perseverance. Her induction into the ICC Hall of Fame is a historic milestone for Pakistan women’s cricket and a testament to her hard work and resilience,” he added.
Mohsin Naqvi further praised her for dreaming big and breaking barriers.
“Sana Mir dared to dream, put in the work, and ended up writing history. Today, one Sana Mir stands tall in the ICC Hall of Fame, and God willing, more Pakistani women cricketers will follow in her footsteps soon,” he further stated.
It’s worth noting that Mir has made history as the first Pakistani woman cricketer to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.
The 38-year-old off-spinner, who proudly represented Pakistan for nearly 15 years, joins an elite list of cricketing legends, becoming only the eighth Pakistani overall to receive this honour.
She now shares the space with greats like Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Javed Miandad, Abdul Qadir, Zaheer Abbas, and Hanif Mohammad.
Globally, Sana Mir becomes just the 14th woman cricketer to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.
