Len Coldwell

Leonard John Coldwell (10 January 1933 – 6 August 1996) was an English cricketer, who played in seven Tests for England from 1962 to 1964. Coldwell was a right-arm fast-medium bowler who was, for a few years in the early to mid-1960s, half of a respected and feared new-ball partnership in English county cricket. His haul of 9 for 110 was his best Test return. He took only four wickets in the two Tests, and was dropped. He never played Test cricket again.

Coldwell was an important part of the Worcestershire side that retained the Championship in 1965. But he was increasingly affected by hip and knee injuries, and his wicket tally declined across the later 1960s, and he retired during the 1969 season, returning to Devon.

Coldwell was not much of a batsman: in 15 years of first-class cricket, he failed to reach 40 runs in an innings.

Coldwell died in Teignmouth, Devon in August 1996, at the age of 63.
