The ceremony took place during the tea break on the opening day of the third Test between Australia and Pakistan in Sydney, with Morris becoming the 82nd player inducted into the hall of fame.
"It is a great honour to be receiving this award, which brings in a flood of memories along with it," Judith Morris said.
"I thank the ICC for recognising my husband's contribution to cricket by inducting him into the ICC Cricket hall of fame."
