CHARLOTTE Edwards and Claire Taylor have been awarded honorary life membership of the MCC. Edwards is one of only a handful of players to have received the honour during their playing career, joining a select group that includes Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, while Taylor retired from international cricket in 2011 but still plays for MCC Women.
The pair were presented with their caps ahead of the England versus India ODI at Lord’s on Sunday.
MCC president Phillip Hodson said: “In my time as president, few things have given me more pleasure than awarding Honorary Life Membership to two such outstanding cricketers who are a credit to the game.
“Both have made the most of their exceptional talents for England, but they have also been fantastic ambassadors for MCC.”
