Description

Dr Sarah Fane OBE studied medicine at Bristol University and during this time travelled to Afghanistan and Pakistan and again to Afghanistan in 2001 under the Taliban Regime. In 2002, Sarah established the charity, Afghan Connection which subsequently supported some 500,000 children with health, education and cricket including the renovation of 130 schools and the construction of 110 cricket pitches in schools and disability centres.

In 2020, Sarah accepted a newly created role of Director of the MCC Foundation, based at Lords.

We have an enthralling discussion about her time in Afghanistan, the wonderful work of her charity and now the passion she has brought to the MCC Foundation helping children not only in England but around the world in countries like Nepal, Lebanon, East Africa, Sri Lanka and South Africa.  

Sarah is also an honorary Life Member of the Marylebone Cricket Club.
