Sarah Taylor: A genius at her craft

Following a long and distinguished playing career that reached great heights at the crease with the bat and produced even bigger accolades behind the stumps as one of the most accomplished wicket-keepers of all time, Sarah Taylor joins the ICC Hall of Fame in 2025.

"Being inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame is one of the best moments of my life and truly feels like a dream come true", she said upon being bestowed with the honour.

"Women's cricket has been thriving in recent years, and receiving this award during such a significant time makes it even more special. I am grateful to the members of the ICC Hall of Fame selection panel for this recognition."

Taylor's international career spanned just short of 13 years and the stylish wicket-keeper batter produced many records and milestones throughout her time in an England shirt as she amassed a total of 226 appearance and tallied a whopping 6533 international runs to sit high up the charts on the team's all-time scoring list behind current national coach and long-time confidant Charlotte Edwards.

But it's perhaps her 232 dismissals across formats behind the stumps in what was a record for women's internationals when she retired in 2019 that really stands out, with Taylor highly regarded among her peers as one of the best keepers ever seen.
