Congratulations to Temoor Alam!

Representing Buckinghamshire at senior county level, Temoor has earned selection in the England 60s squad for August’s Over-60s World Cup.

After making his England 60s debut against Australia last summer, Temoor marked the occasion with a 50 to help level the Grey Ashes series at 1-1. He followed that with two more half-centuries during the summer, including 137 against the USA in August.

England 60s Press Release

The England 60s International Committee have announced a 16-player squad for August’s International Masters Cricket Over-60s World Cup in Canada.

The squad has been selected after an extensive trial process, which included a two-day training camp at Loughborough in March and an intra-squad match last week (30th April).

Edward Gordon Lennox will lead the side with Steve Aston, Phil Deakin, Nick Gaywood, Mel Hussain, and Simon Routh also selected for their second World Cup after representing England in 2024.

Temoor Alam, Neil Brathwaite, Mel Dobson, Paul Radage and Mark Wilson, who all appeared in the 2025 Grey Ashes, are also part of the squad.

After impressing on the Lions tour to India earlier this year, Phil Hillson and Vince Mulholland make their first England squad, with Muhammad Zahid Ali Kawish, who took four wickets in September’s England v Lions match, joining them.

Staffordshire’s Mick Haynes and Hampshire’s Alan Whitman complete the squad after impressing during the trial process, meaning 10 counties are represented across the 16 players.

Paul Bradley is once again fulfilling the role of manager, having done so since 2022.

The World Cup runs from 9th to 23rd August in Mississauga, Canada, with England looking to improve on their runners-up finish at their maiden World Cup appearance two years ago in Chennai, India.

The squad’s first outing together is on May 14th at Marton CC against Scotland, with further games against Wales (18th June) and an England Over-50s Lions side (24th July) to come before heading off to Canada.
