British PM Cameron auctions 'most prized' bat signed by Tendulkar for 3400 pounds

London, May 12(ANI): British Prime Minister David Cameron has auctioned a cricket bat signed by cricket maestro Sachin Tendulkar, and his "most valuable" possession fetched 3400 pounds to raise money for the Rwanda Cricket Stadium Foundation.

Cameron raised a few laughs at a gathering of Conservative Friends of India when he talked about his shock at finding his wife, Samantha, playing French cricket in the grounds of Chequers with a bat that had been signed for him by Tendulkar.

"I said, 'No, darling, put it down, this is probably the most valuable possession I have,'" the Telegraph quoted Cameron, as saying.

The auction dinner, in the Long Room at Lord's, was to remember the life of Christopher Shale, Cameron's constituency chairman, who was found dead at the Glastonbury festival last summer. (ANI)
