ICC World Test Championship: Ahead of day two’s play in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final between Australia and South Africa at Lord's, former Pakistan captain Sana Mir had the honour to ring the historic bell, a moment which she described as ‘means the world to me’.

“Lord's has so much history. It's the home of cricket and being here in this special time, getting the Hall of Fame and then this Test match final, I'm so honoured to be here and being part of all these historical rituals at Lord's, historical traditions, it means the world to me,” said Sana in a video on ICC’s Instagram account on Thursday.

Asked what was on her mind before going to ring the bell at Lord’s, Sana stated, “I mean I knew that ringing the Lord's bell is only once in a lifetime opportunity. So I made sure I get all the instructions and the instructions were to ring it five times. That makes sense because my shirt number was five, so I don't know, I'll have to see the replay.”
