According to PCB, the names of three personalities will be inducted into the Hall of Fame on October 16 every year.

The actual reason for choosing October 16, is that in 1952, Pakistan played Test cricket for the first time.

Unfortunately, the first captain of the Pakistan national cricket team, Abdul Hafeez Kardar, was kept at bay from the Hall of Fame.
