Peter Lever dead aged 84: Former England cricket star passes away after losing battle with illness

Published on March 27, 2025 at 06:36 PM

FORMER England fast bowler Peter Lever has died at the age of 84 following a short illness.

Lever was part of the England team that won the Ashes in Australia in 1970-71 under captain Raymond Illingworth on his Test debut.

On the same trip, Lever also played in the very first one-day international.

It was a hastily arranged 40-over match between England and Australia when the third Test in Melbourne was washed out.

He actually first played for England earlier in 1970, against a Rest of World XI, matches that were eventually stripped of Test status.

Overall, Lever took 41 wickets in 17 Tests and 11 more in 10 one-day internationals.

He played for Lancashire between 1960 and 1976, claiming almost 800 wickets in 301 first-class matches.

His wife Ros said: “It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that Peter Lever has passed away peacefully today.

“A beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

“An enormous thank you to everyone that has been caring and considerate in supporting Peter through these difficult recent times.”
