Pakistan’s Sana Mir and Mohammad Yousaf were named as the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC)’s honorary life members on Thursday.
The latest cohort of life members includes England’s Stuart Broad and Windies duo of Dwayne Bravo and Chris Gayle as well.
Pakistan’s Sana Mir captained her country in 137 of her 226 international matches and was the first Pakistani bowler to reach 100 wickets in women’s ODIs. She took 240 international wickets before moving on to become a broadcaster within the game.
“I am truly honoured and humbled to be awarded lifetime membership of the prestigious MCC. I would like to thank everyone involved in this induction process who recognized my dedication and passion for cricket and my country,” Mir said on X.
“As women in sports, we face many challenges, but moments like these make every sweat drop, every injury, and every sacrifice worth it. This nomination is a testament to the hard work and perseverance of not just me, but all the women who have paved the way for me in this sport.
“I would like to thank MCCOfficial again for celebrating my journey. I am humbled to be part of a community that values and supports women in cricket and sets the bar high for all related to this beautiful sport.”
Mohammad Yousaf averaged 52.29 in his 90 Test matches for Pakistan, scoring over 7,500 runs, and making over 9,700 runs in 288 ODIs. He still holds the record for the most Test runs in a calendar year, scoring 1,788 runs in 2006.
