CRICKET legend Glenn McGrath and his wife Sara have revealed they are expecting their first child together.

It will be the first child for the couple who have been married for five years.

Glenn has two children 15 year-old James and 13 year-old Holly, from his marriage to late wife Jane, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2008.

The pair made the announcement in an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly.

“We are adding to our family and we couldn’t be more delighted,” the couple told the mag.

“The kids are really excited,” Glenn said. “James used to ask us on a regular basis whether we were going to give him a baby brother. To see both their faces when they learned the news. James jumped up and gave both of us a hug and kiss. And that was really special for me and I know it meant a lot to Sara.”

But Glenn never expected to add to his brood after undergoing a vasectomy in 2003.

The couple were able to conceive via IVF and the baby is due in October.

Glenn McGrath and Sara have been married for five years.

He says he knows his late wife Jane would be overjoyed to see how happy he and their children are.

“I know she would want me to be happy and she’d want her children to be happy and they are,” Glenn said.

“I have never been one to live in the past. Sara and I are very happy together and the kids are two really happy, normal children and I think, at the end of the day, that’s really the true measure of what Sara and I have built together these last five years of marriage.”
