Australia’s Clarke gets MCC life membership
Print Edition
FORMER Australia captain Michael Clarke was given an honorary life membership of the Marylebone Cricket Club yesterday.
Clarke retired from international cricket last year after establishing himself as one of Australia’s finest batsmen with 8,643 runs in 115 tests. The 35-year-old follows in the footsteps of former Australia teammates Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Ricky Ponting, who are also life members of the MCC. Clarke scored 416 runs in five tests at the MCC’s historic Lord’s home in London. “This is a fantastic honor and I am delighted to become an MCC honorary life member,” he said. “MCC is the most prestigious cricket club in the world and to be invited to become a member is a great privilege. Lord’s has always been a very special place to play cricket, and I’ve got some great memories of playing there so I’m really looking forward to coming back as a member of MCC.”
