Induction into the PCB Hall of Fame for Zaheer Abbas

During the lunch break of the second cricket Test between Pakistan and Australia at the National Stadium on Saturday, Heer Abbas, one of the most stylish and elegant batters to ever play this great sport, was formally inducted into the PCB Hall of Fame when he received his commemorative cap and plaque from PCB Chief Executive Faisal Hasnain.

After Fazal Mahmood and Wasim Akram, Zaheer is the third PCB Hall of Famer to be formally admitted, with the next five inductions to follow in due course.

“I am humbled to have been recognised in such a respectful and honourable manner by my parent organisation at my home ground, during play of my favourite format of the game, and in front of passionate cricket fans, who have also played an important role throughout my cricketing career,” Zaheer Abbas said.
