“The names that have been announced today are some of the greatest international players of modern times, and we are privileged to now count them as valued Members of our Club,” Guy Lavender, MCC CEO said.
English players Eoin Morgan and Kevin Pietersen were also part of the 19-strong list that were granted the distinction this year.
