Durham Cricket is set to launch its hall of Fame which will honour and celebrate players and officials.
Following our 30 year-celebrations in 2022, Durham Cricket will now introduce a yearly Hall of Fame event as we induct a number of former Durham Cricket players and officials annually.
An exclusive dinner, to celebrate the first six inductees into the Durham Cricket Hall of Fame, will be held on Wednesday 22 March at 7pm in the Geoff Cook Suite at Seat Unique Riverside.
Inductees will receive a special Durham Cricket Hall of Fame cap, while a commemorative programme will be produced each year to recognise the inductees.
A selection committee including Durham Chairman Ian Botham have selected the initial inductees following a strict criteria which included making a significant contribution to Durham Cricket while former players must have been retired for at least 5 years.
Each year those honoured will have their named displayed in a special area of the ground, as we look to develop the proud history and tradition we have with the club.
