"It's been an honour. Two months back I got a mail from the Lord's office asking me whether I would like to accept the honorary life membership of MCC. After I replied, they sent me an acceptance letter. Two days back when Zaheer's name came up as the new MCC Life Member, I saw the list and found my name there," Anjum, who now works as a cricket analyst for various channels, told PTI.
