\u201cLord'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,\u201d said Sana in a video on ICC\u2019s Instagram account on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked what was on her mind before going to ring the bell at Lord\u2019s, Sana stated, \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Before the 2025 WTC final between reigning champions Australia and first-time finalists South Africa began on Wednesday, Sana had been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame in a glittering ceremony held at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London. Apart from her, Hashim Amla, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Matthew Hayden, Graeme Smith, Sarah Taylor and Daniel Vettori were also inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sana had become Pakistan\u2019s captain at 23 and led them for seven years, including winning two Asian Games gold medals in 2010 and 2014. In her 15-year international career, she retired as her country\u2019s leading wicket-taker in ODI cricket \u2013 151 wickets at an average of 24.27 in 120 matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She also ended up as the second-highest wicket-taker for Pakistan in women\u2019s T20I cricket - 89 wickets at an average of 23.42 in 89 games. She also amassed 1,630 runs at an average of 17.91 in ODIs and 802 runs at an average of 14.07 in T20Is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
