The prime minister who spoke to media said that....."I'm very pleased we're going to confer on Sachin Tendulkar membership of the Order of Australia, an AM," she told reporters.
"This is a very special honour, very rarely awarded to someone who is not an Australian citizen or an Australian national.
"He is away playing cricket - surprise, surprise - but the award will be conferred on him by Minister Crean when he visits India.
"So a very special honour and a very special recognition of such a great batsman."
