After Zaheer Khan and Virender Sehwag were honoured with MCC Life membership, another Indian cricketer has been honoured with MCC Life membership. Indian women cricket Anjum Chopra has been honoured with MCC Life membership.
“It’s been an honour. Two months back I got a mail from the Lord’s office asking me whether I would like to accept the honorary life membership of MCC. After I replied, they sent me an acceptance letter. Two days back when Zaheer’s name came up as the new MCC Life Member, I saw the list and found my name there,” Anjum, who now works as a cricket analyst for various channels, said.
“It feels good when you see the names of the Indian cricket’s legends like Sunil Gavaskar, Gundappa Viswanath, who have been bestowed with the honour of life membership of MCC,” she added.
Anjum Chopra has played for India 12 test matches, 127 ODI matches and 18 T20 matches. In test matches she scored 548 runs in 4 matches and ODI format she has scored 2856 runs with 18 half-cenutries and 1 century to her name .
Anjum Chopra has got the honor of becoming the first Indian women to get the life membership of MCC. Now she is a commentator. Zaheer Khan and Virender Sehwag got life membership of MCC and with Anjum Chopra getting the life membership it is a great thing for these three cricketers from India to be honored with this membership.
