Nick Andrews of Market Deeping Cricket Club will represent England in the inaugural Over 70s Cricket World Cup

Market Deeping’s Nick Andrews will represent England in the inaugural Over 70s Cricket World Cup this summer. ​

Andrews has been named in a 16-man squad for the 14-day event which starts in England on July 28.

Seven teams have entered the competition and all will contest a round robin format with the top two playing in a final at Wormsley on Sunday, August 11.

England open the tournament against Sri Lanka at High Wycombe before tackling India (Slough), New Zealand (Marlow), Australia (Beaconsfield), Wales (Bishop’s Stortford) and Canada (Wargrave).

Andrews has been a regular for England in age group competition for several years and has starred in two so-called ‘Silver Ashes’ series wins against Australia, one of them Down Under.

Andrews, an off-spinning all-rounder, still plays regular club cricket for Deeping seconds in South Lincs and Border League Division One.

He took two wickets on Saturday as Deeping defeated Long Sutton 2nds by 23 runs at Outgang Road.

The hosts had been bowled out for 149 after batting first with Amandeep Dhindsa their top scorer with 30.

Rob Simpson took 3-38 for Long Sutton while Joe Whitaker returned a tidy 2-16 from his 6.1 over spell and Ed Barnes bagged 2-11.

Whitaker led the Sutton reply with an unbeaten 40 but they were dismissed for 126 as Dhindsa, Andrews and Ross Lowndes all took two wickets each.

Moulton Harrox returned to winning ways in the Championship after back-to-back defeats with a 10-run success at Boston.

Harrox had made 135-9 after batting first with Travis Harrison hitting a timely 31 runs lower down the order after Flynn McMillan had made 26 and Matt Barnett 25.

Harry Lovell - who had been unbeaten on 14 at the close - then took 4-22 while Matt Rose returned 3-17 as Boston were bowled out for 125.

Kurt Storey struck an unbeaten 63 to help Bourne 2nds beat Skegness by three wickets at the Abbey Lawn.

The seasiders had made 159-8 after batting first with Jordan Grosse leading the Bourne attack by taking 3-27.

Storey then made 63 not out after Adam Binns had scored 26 as Bourne secured the win with two overs to spare.

Billingborough suffered a fifth successive defeat after an eight-wicket loss at Grantham 2nds.

They were bowled out for 135 with Jonathan Payne top-scoring with 30 before Grantham passed the target inside 39 overs.
