The International Cricket Council (ICC) has officially announced three new inductees into its Cricket Hall of Fame: India's legendary opener Virender Sehwag, former Indian Women Test skipper Diana Edulji, and Sri Lanka's iconic star Aravinda de Silva.

Former captain Diana Edulji on Monday became the first Indian woman cricketer to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.

With these 3 more additions, there will now be 112 cricketers to be on the ICC Hall of Fame list.

Speaking of India, currently, eight Indian cricketers hold the prestigious honour for their stellar achievements. They include Sunil Gavaskar, Bishan Singh Bedi, Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Vinoo Mankad, Diana Edulji, and Virendra Sehwag.

Legendary India opener Virender Sehwag and Sri Lankan World Cup winner Aravinda de Silva were also made members of the ICC Hall of Fame for their stellar achievements during their playing careers.

Diana Edulji

A trailblazer in women's cricket, Edulji made just as big an impact on the field during her playing days as 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 Cricketer to be inducted and join a galaxy of cricketers, male and female from across the world,' the 67-year-old said in an ICC release.

She played 54 matches for India across three decades (between 1976 and 1993) and made her mark as a slow left-arm orthodox spinner taking more than 100 wickets.

Edulji played 20 Tests, scoring 404 runs, and taking 63 wickets at an average of 25.77. From 34 ODIs, she scored 211 runs, and bagged 46 wickets at an average of 16.84.

But, it is perhaps off the field that Edulji has had an even greater impact, having played a major role as a trailblazer for India’s women’s cricketers for many decades.

Aravinda de Silva

A key member of Sri Lanka's 1996 World Cup-winning side, Aravinda de Silva is an icon in the island country.

The consistent right-hander scored 20 Test centuries during a 19-year international career (1984 to 2003), the third most hundreds by any Sri Lanka men's player, and was just as adept against the white ball with another 11 centuries coming in 50-over cricket.

The most important of those was in the 1996 World Cup final, as de Silva almost single-handedly willed his side over the line against Australia with an unbeaten 107 not out in what was an unforgettable run chase.

A clever batter who always respected the situation of the game, the 58-year-old de Silva was an integral part in Sri Lanka's resurgence at the end of last century.

He accumulated 6,361 runs from 93 Tests at an average of 42.97. From 308 ODIs, he scored 9,284 runs at an average of 34.90 and took 106 wickets.

Virendra Sehwag

Throughout his remarkable career, Sehwag amassed 23 Test centuries, which ranks him seventh among Indian men's players.

His greatest score of 319 against South Africa in Chennai in 2008 was the highest of any Indian player in history.

During the 2011 World Cup, he had contributed to India winning their second World Cup as of all the players, his 380 runs during the competition ranked eighth.

In his career, he played 104 tests, 251 ODI and 19 T20s.

As per ICC, Sehwag has played:

104 Tests: 8,586 runs at an average of 49.34, 40 wickets

251 ODIs: 8,273 runs at an average of 35.05, 96 wickets

19 T20Is: 394 runs at an average of 21.88
