Sachin Tendulkar accepts MCC’s honorary club membership

Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar accepted an invitation to become an honorary member of Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC), announced the organisation on Friday.

MCC is one of the oldest sports clubs in Australia and is responsible for the management of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

“An icon honoured. The MCC is pleased to announce that former Indian captain Sachin Tendulkar has accepted an Honorary Cricket Membership, acknowledging his outstanding contribution to the game,” the MCC posted on ‘X’.

Tendulkar has a stirring record at the MCG with 449 runs from five Tests at an average of 44.90 with a hundred and three fifties. Earlier in 2012, the Indian batter was awarded the Order of Australia, one of the country’s highest honours.

The MCG is currently hosting the penultimate Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series.
