Chanderpaul, the 107th inductee on the list, had a 21-year career representing West Indies after making his debut in 1994. His unorthodox batting stance would go on to be his trademark while his patience at the crease became his signature. After spending his initial years in and out of the team, Chanderpaul became a rock in West Indies' middle order, a role he held till his last cap in 2015.
When Chanderpaul announced his retirement in 2016, he finished with 20,988 international runs, 41 centuries and 125 half-centuries across formats.
"It's an amazing honour to follow the footsteps of many legends and so many other great cricketers of the past," Chanderpaul said in an ICC release. "I'm grateful for the recognition and would like to enjoy the moment with family, friends and most importantly the West Indies cricket fans and fans around the world who passionately supported me throughout my career."
In 2021, the domestic women's T20 competition in England was named the Charlotte Edwards Cup in her honour, and the following year Edwards won the trophy named after herself after coaching Southern Vipers to the title.
"It's a massive honour to be included in the ICC Hall of Fame alongside the very illustrious company that has already been inducted," Edwards said. "I'd like to thank and share this moment with my family and friends, my teammates and all of the coaches that have supported me throughout."
"On behalf of the family, I want to say thank you very much to the ICC for nominating my father for induction into the Hall of Fame," Usman, Abdul Qadir's son, said. "It is a very big honour for the family to hear of this news, we see it as a huge achievement, and one that my father would be very proud of if he was still with us today."
