Pollock was one of the finest bowling all-rounders. Perhaps he was the first player to achieve the 3,000 runs and 300 wickets double in both Test and ODI cricket. Furthermore, he is still the leading international wicket-taker of South Africa.

Responding to the news of Brittin's induction, her friend Angela Bainbridge, said: "I would like to extend my thanks to the ICC for the incredible honour they have bestowed on Jan by inaugurating her into the Hall of Fame.
