An independent expert panel – comprising former players, commentators and journalists – will select the first two men, and two women, from the shortlisted names to be inducted.
Fans will also get the opportunity to have their say via a public vote, which will be hosted on ECB channels, and which will form a weighted element of the final decision‑making process. Scroll to the bottom of this page to vote.
The inaugural inductees will be revealed on 15 May, ahead of the opening night of the 2026 Vitality Blast on Friday 22 May.
Samit Patel, who has played in every season of the Vitality Blast men's competition since its inception in 2003, said: “To be shortlisted for the T20 Hall of Fame is something that I’m hugely proud of especially alongside some great names. It means a lot to be recognised for what I’ve tried to give to the domestic game over so many years. To be one of the first players inducted would be an incredible honour and something I’d feel very privileged to be part of.”
Danni Wyatt-Hodge, who is a three-time domestic T20 winner and the leading women's domestic T20 runscorer since the Kia Super League began in 2016, said: "I was absolutely delighted when I found out and I told my family straight away. To be shortlisted alongside some amazing players is an honour and it would be amazing to be inducted into the Hall of Fame - it's a big deal! It's the first time I have been nominated for anything like this so hopefully I can be one of the inducted players. I'm incredibly proud."
The T20 Hall of Fame presented by Vitality will become an annual celebration, recognising those people whose performances, leadership and influence have left a lasting legacy on the domestic game.
Players, coaches and administrators from across the major domestic T20 competitions in England and Wales are eligible for consideration.
