ECB Mourns Demise Of Former England Pacer Peter Lever
Lancashire County Cricket Club: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) condoled on Thursday the death of the former pacer Peter Lever, who died aged 84. Lever, who played in seventeen Tests and ten ODIs for England from 1970 to 1975, was a handy batsman too and a giant of England's domestic cricket.
"Our thoughts are with Peter’s family and friends," the ECB said in a statement. "Lever, a right-arm fast-medium bowler, was known for his tenacity and skill on the field. His accomplishments left an indelible mark on both English and international cricket," it added.
Over the course of his domestic career, he played in 301 first-class matches for Lancashire, taking 796 wickets and scoring 3,534 runs. But it was his exploits for England between 1970 and 1975 that were among his most memorable.
