Roy Swetman

Roy Swetman (25 October 1933 – 21 July 2023) was an English cricketer, who played in eleven Tests as a wicket-keeper from 1959 to 1960.

Life and career Swetman was born in Westminster, London on 25 October 1933.

Commencing his career with Surrey, for whom he was understudy to Arthur McIntyre, Swetman soon came to notice as a deft performer, even though his appearances were limited. He went to Pakistan with the MCC 'A' team in 1955–56, though at the time he was playing mostly for Surrey's second eleven. He replaced McIntyre as Surrey's keeper in 1956.

A useful batsman, Swetman failed to consolidate his place in the England team when given first bite at replacing the long-serving Test wicket-keeper Godfrey Evans.

Roy Swetman died from pneumonia on 21 July 2023, at the age of 89.
