Michael Bevan has been elevated to the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame after a tweak to the criteria governing selection, reports ESPN Cricinfo.
Bevan, one of Australia's greatest white-ball players, scored 6912 runs at 53.58 from 232 ODIs while routinely steering his side to victory in chases.
The batter's last-ball four, to secure a one-wicket win at the SCG on New Year's Day in 1996, ranks highly among the sport's most iconic moments.
Other famous moments include making 102 off 95 balls against New Zealand at the MCG in 2002, to lead Australia to victory after they had been 82 for 6, and his unbeaten 74 against England at the 2003 World Cup.
Bevan, who featured in both the 1999 and 2003 World Cup wins, has been eligible for elevation for 15 years.
But, until last month, the Hall of Fame's rules penalised him for a relatively-modest Test career that spanned 18 matches.
“It was Bevan's exceptional playing record and public standing that pushed the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame Committee to review its selection criteria,” Hall of Fame chairman Peter King explained.
“To ensure players who excelled in one-day or Twenty20 Internationals were equally recognised as those who shone in the Test format. Michael without a doubt revolutionised white-ball cricket and became a household name for his masterful batting, amazing athleticism and ability to chase down runs.”
