LONDON: Glamorgan great Don Shepherd has died aged 90, the Welsh county announced Saturday.
Shepherd took more wickets than any other England qualified-bowler never to play Test cricket and finished with a first-class tally of 2,218 following a career of more than 20 years that saw him help Glamorgan win the 1969 County Championship.
“Deeply sad & upsetting news our great friend & club legend, Don Shepherd, passed away yesterday (Friday),” Glamorgan tweeted. “Thoughts with his family and friends.”
As well as the County Championship title, other career highlights for Shepherd included a match haul of nine for 93 when Glamorgan beat the touring Australians at Swansea in 1964.
He was also Glamorgan’s captain when they again defeated Australia four years later.
