Jhulan Goswami, Eoin Morgan, Heather Knight join MCC World Cricket Committee | Cricket News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: Legendary Indian woman cricketer Jhulan Goswami, England women’s team captain Heather Knight and 2019 ODI World Cup winning captain Morgan on Monday joined the MCC World Cricket Committee (WCC), the Marylebone Cricket Club said. The trio has joined the committee ahead of its upcoming meeting at Lord’s.
This committee is an independent body that consists of current and former international cricketers, umpires, and officials from various countries.
Often regarded as one of the fastest bowler in the women’s game, Goswami retired from international cricket last year, and fittingly her final appearance was at Lord’s in the ODI against England, where she was given a guard of honour.
The seamer enjoyed a career spanning two decades, taking over 300 wickets in white-ball cricket across 272 appearances, as well 44 wickets in 12 Test matches.
She was made an Honorary Life Member of MCC in April this year.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jhulan, Heather and Eoin to the World Cricket committee,” Chair of the MCC World Cricket committee Mike Gatting, said in a release.
“These are three players who have excelled at the very top of the international game and their knowledge of how the elite level of cricket works will be an advantage to the committee.
“It is also important that we are growing the female representation on the committee with the growth that women’s cricket has enjoyed in recent years. Jhulan and Heather join Clare Connor and Suzie Bates who can all offer first-hand insight into the women’s game.”
