Karachi-born cricketer Ehtesham Ahmed has etched his name into Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) history after being awarded the prestigious 100-match cap by the club.
With this, he became the first player from both Pakistan and Ireland to achieve the milestone.
The honour was formally presented at the iconic Lord’s by current Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) President Ed Smith, marking a proud moment in the 41-year-old’s long and dedicated cricketing journey.
A former Karachi Under-17 player, Ehtesham has spent nearly two decades building an impressive career in the European club circuit after relocating to Ireland.
Over the years, he has represented several leading sides in Leinster cricket, enjoying successful stints with clubs such as YMCA, Terenure, Balbriggan and Clontarf.
His consistent performances, professionalism and longevity at the highest club level have now been recognised with one of the MCC’s most respected individual honours.
The 100-match cap is reserved for players who have shown outstanding commitment and service to the MCC across different competitions and tours.
By reaching this landmark, Ehtesham joins a select group of cricketers to have represented the historic club on 100 occasions, underlining both his durability and value as a player over the years.
