Sangakkara, Flower in ICC Hall of Fame

Sri Lanka’s former captain Kumar Sangakkara and Zimbabwe’s Andy Flower were among 10 new inductees into the International Cricket Council’s Hall of Fame announced yesterday.

The latest batch of players to be accorded the honour were unveiled just days before next week’s inaugural World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand at Southampton.

They span over a century of men’s Test cricket, with Australia’s Monty Noble having made his debut back in 1898.
