Former Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez was awarded with Honorary Life Membership by the Marylebone Cricket Club on Wednesday.
Hafeez played 55 Tests, 218 ODIs and 119 T20Is over the course of his international career while accumulating over 12,000 runs. The all-rounder was also a handy off-spinner with more than 200 wickets for Pakistan.
Hafeez was a member of the Pakistan team, which clinched the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy and represented his country in three 50-over (2007, 2011 and 2019) and six T20 World Cups (2007, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2021).
His last international match was the ICC Men's T20 World Cup semi-final in November 2021.
