Ken Higgs

Ken(neth) Higgs (born January 14, 1937, Kidsgrove, Staffordshire, England) was an English fast-medium bowler who was most successful as the opening partner to the incomparable Brian Statham with Lancashire in the 1960s. However, Higgs had a long career after Statham disappeared from the scene, playing for two years in the Lancashire League and later becoming the first-choice opening bowler for Leicestershire, having two recalls at age forty-five in 1982 and, amazingly, at forty-nine (remarkable in an era of limited-overs cricket) in 1986.
