Ehtesham Ahmed joined a very exclusive club this year making 100 appearances for the MCC, and the milestone was marked by a special presentation at Lord's.

The affable all-rounder has played for the prestigious MCC all over the globe, including in exotic locations such as Panama, Belize and Suriname.

He was presented a special cap by former England international Ed Smith a glitering dinner at the Home of Cricket this weekend.

"I always feel very proud, fortunate and privileged to be a member of the most prestigious Cricket Club in the world MCC," said Ehtesham.

"I am very lucky that the club has trust in me. I have represented the club in a few different countries and most importantly captained the club at Lord's twice, which was unreal.

"Getting the 100th cap from the club is unbelievable, and I'm absolutely chuffed about that. The cap was presented by the current MCC President , a former England batter and the ex-chief selector Mr. Ed Smith in the famous Long Room at Lord's during the Player's dinner."

A fantastic reward for one of the most popular cricketers in Leinster and Irelland. Congratulations.
