Imran Khan to deliver prestigious Cowdrey 'Spirit of Cricket' lecture in 2010 | Former Pakistan cricket captain Imran Khan would be delivering the tenth MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture at Lord's next year, thus joining the elite group of great personalities such as Geoffrey Boycott and Desmond Tutu. Imran
would deliver the lecture on July 19, said President of the Marylebone Cricket
Club (MCC ) John Barclay, who played alongside Imran at English county Sussex
in the 1970s and 80s. "Imran was an inspired cricketer. He was never short of
opinions and rarely was he reluctant to hold back. We will be in for a treat on
July 19 when Imran will display the depth of his knowledge and breadth of his
experience," The News quoted Barclay, as saying. Imran, who is arguably Pakistan's
greatest cricketer, is the first Pakistani to get the prestigious chance of delivering
the Cowdrey lecture since its inauguration in 2001. The Cowdrey Lecture was started
in the memory of the late Colin Cowdrey, who together with fellow ex-England captain
Ted Dexter (also a former MCC president), was instrumental in having a section
on the 'spirit of cricket' included as a preamble to the 2000 edition of the laws
of the game. |
