Former cricketer turned Test Match Special commentator and journalist Christopher Martin-Jenkins has been appointed as the new president of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).
Martin-Jenkins will begin his one-year term on 1st October when he takes over from former Sussex captain John Barclay.
The MCC owns Lord’s and traditionally each president of MCC nominates his own successor.
‘Working within the world of cricket for over 40 years, he is, I believe, ideally placed to serve as MCC president,’ said current president Barclay.
Martin-Jenkins, who was elected a member of the club in 1967, has previously played 67 times for MCC.
Martin-Jenkins has been the cricket correspondent of the BBC, The Daily Telegraph and The Times as well as editing the Cricketer magazine.
