Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid and Australian legend Ricky Ponting have been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame for their stupendous achievements in international cricket.
Along with Dravid and Ponting, retired England woman wicketkeeper-batter Claire Taylor was also named in the 'Hall of Fame' during a ceremony in Dublin.
Dravid became only the fifth player from India to be named in the elite list.
The other four Indians are former skippers - Bishan Singh Bedi, Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble.
Ponting is the 25th from Australia to receive the honor.
The ICC Cricket Hall of Fame " recognizes the achievements of the legends of the game from cricket's long and illustrious history".
