Legendary India opener Virender Sehwag and Sri Lankan World Cup winner Aravinda de Silva were also made members of the ICC Hall of Fame.

A trailblazer in women’s cricket, Edulji made just as big an impact on the field during her playing days when captain of India as she did as an administrator after her playing career. “It indeed is a great honour to be the first Indian women’s cricketer to be inducted,” the 67-year-old said.

One of the most destructive batters of the modern era, Sehwag donned India colours between 1999 and 2013. Sehwag scored a total of 23 Test centuries during his illustrious career — the fifth most by an Indian. His highest score of 319 against South Africa in Chennai in 2008 the best of an Indian.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
