Adam Gilchrist recognised as Lord's Taverners National Ambassador

One of the greatest wicketkeeper batsmen ever produced, Australian Adam Gilchrist, has been named as the National Ambassador of Lord’s Taverners today. This gives the swashbuckling Aussie opener a chance to give back to the game. The institution gives young disadvantaged talents an opportunity for a sporting chance.

On the basis of the information of their website, Lord’s Taverners is a charitable institution which exists only through membership subscriptions, corporate and community partnerships, fundraising activities and donations, dedicated to their noble and charitable works. Gilchrist has prior experience with the New South Wales branch which was established by his father 10 years ago. Gilly also spoke about the Glenn Mcgrath‘s foundation which is dedicated to the people suffering from Breast Cancer.

Gilchrist on his involvement with charity

“I’ve been involved to a lesser extent with the northern NSW branch, which my father established over 10 years ago, He’s now involved at a national executive level with this organisation and they’ve asked me to come on board in this role. So I’m thrilled to be able to support it, and support all the programs that they run and provide for young disadvantaged people who are looking to pursue their dreams,” commented Adam Gilchrist according to Cricket Australia website.

“Cricket Australia has been wonderful in their support of many charities over the years, and obviously, the McGrath Foundation is one that comes right from the heart of the Australian cricket team in the form of Glenn McGrath. We all knew and loved Jane, and it’s been extraordinary the way cricket has embraced that as a charity,” further augmented the 45-year old.

“And that’s certainly an area where Lord’s Taverners now, in partnership with Cricket Australia, are going to look to grow the fundraising efforts in bringing money into the game and injecting it back into cricket, and allowing the opportunities for young male and female cricketers to pursue those dreams,” concluded the former wicket-keeper batsman.
