It's a ‘Honour’ to meet Sachin, says England PM David Cameron


London: “It’s an honour to have met with and spoken to (Sachin) Tendulkar... I’ve been his fan.” That was David Cameron, the United Kingdom’s flamboyant Prime Minister, in a brief chat with The Telegraph, at The Oval, on Friday evening.
The Prime Minister was off in a flash, with a Range Rover, driven by a lady, leading the way.

Cameron met Sachin in the India dressing room after making a “specific request” for a one-on-one with The Master. That was at the end of Day II of the fourth and final Test.

Late on Friday, Sachin texted the following to this Reporter: “The Prime Minister had just come to say hello... He said that I was welcome in the UK anytime.”


Cameron also met the India manager, Anirudh Choudhry, and ‘reserve’ Pragyan Ojha, who happened to be standing near Sachin.
