Fame chairman

Australian Cricket Hall: Australia’s ODI batting great Michael Bevan has been inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame, following a tweak to the criteria for being a part of the illustrious club.

Cricket Australia (CA) said a review of the criteria was undertaken by the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame Committee and the Melbourne Cricket Club, manager of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), to ensure all formats of the game that were available in respective eras were equally recognised.

As per the updated criteria, it now sees the introduction of two categories in which candidates can be inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame as either a player or in the general category. Bevan now becomes the 66th player to be a part of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame, and third of this season after Michael Clarke and Christina Matthews.
