It's a girl! Glenn McGrath, wife Sara blessed with first child

Cricket legend Glenn McGrath and his wife Sara have given birth to a baby girl Madison Mary Harper McGrath.

The duo welcomed their first child together into the world on Friday in Sydney, News.com.au reported.

Australian Women's Weekly took to their Twitter page late on Friday to say, "Huge congratulations to Glenn and Sara McGrath who this afternoon welcomed their first child. The name is adorable!"

The magazine said both mother and daughter were doing well, adding that the 45-year-old cricketer and his wife are delighted by their new arrival, particularly given their struggles to conceive.

Editor-in-chief Helen McCabe also sent her well wishes.

Madison is Glenn McGrath's third child as Sara is step mom to Glenn's two children born to his late wife Jane.
