—The Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) extends congratulations and best wishes to longstanding Club members and outstanding West Indian batsmen, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan. The two have been awarded Honorary Life Membership of the prestigious Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).
Highly regarded as the world’s most active cricket club, the owner of Lord’s Ground, and the guardian of the Laws of Cricket, the MCC only bestows Honorary Life Membership to those who have made an exceptional contribution to the game.
The GCC believes the two legendary Guyanese batsmen richly deserve to join the elite group of the world’s cricketers who have achieved this honour, particularly because of their exemplary contribution to cricket, both on and off the field.
Their contribution brought great pride and joy to the West Indies, Guyana, and the GCC.
The GCC salutes Chanderpaul and Sarwan for joining this select group of Honorary Life Members of MCC, which only includes six other great Guyanese cricketers: J.S. Solomon (1973); R.B. Kanhai (1981); L.R. Gibbs (1983); Sir Clive Lloyd, C.B.E. (1988); A.I. Kallicharran (1992); and C.L. Hooper (2018).
