Former England cricketer Ken Shuttleworth has passed away at the age of 80. Shuttleworth was a fearsome fast bowler and played five Tests for his country between 1970 and 1971. He was part of England's famous Ashes-winning team during their 1970-1971 tour of Australia and represented Lancashire and Leicestershire domestically. Shuttleworth, who passed away earlier this month, is survived by his wife Barbara and daughters Sara and Hannah. Lancashire released a statement confirming the news last week and several tributes have since poured in. The statement read: 'We are very sorry to hear of the passing of the former Lancashire and England fast bowler Ken Shuttleworth who recently passed away peacefully. 'Ken was a tall, strongly built, fearsome right-handed bowler, was born in St Helens. He joined Lancashire in 1964 and captured the wicket of Geoff Boycott as his first wicket. 'He was a genuine fast bowler with his long run and magnificent side-on action and provided good support for Brian Statham.' The statement went on to reflect on Shuttleworth's impressive career and recalled several memories before it concluded: 'Ken will be greatly missed with his dry sense of humour, modesty and his great love of Lancashire Cricket, a place that had so many happy memories for him. 'Our thoughts are with his wife Barbara and daughters Sara and Hannah at this time.' Shuttleworth made his Test debut against Australia in 1970, taking five wickets in the second innings. He went on to play twice in the famous 1970-1971 Ashes series that England won 2-0, although he only featured in five Tests in total, a number that would have been higher if it wasn't for injury. Recalling his debut, Shuttleworth, who took 12 Test wickets in his career, later said: 'I just took it as another game. 'We got stick, which you expect when you're out there, but we were the first team since Douglas Jardine's in 1932 to win the Ashes in Australia.' Shuttleworth also took England's first ever one-day international wicket in the inaugural ODI at the MCG in January 1971. Shuttleworth enjoyed further international experience when he toured Pakistan with the Commonwealth XI in 1967-68 - and he also represented England against a Rest of the World XI in 1970. During his decorated domestic career, Shuttleworth took 484 wickets for Lancashire at a bowling average of 22.92 before he picked up a further 99 at Leicestershire. Shuttleworth similarly helped Lancashire win three Gillette Cups and two Sunday League titles during an era of limited-overs dominance for the Red Rose. Reflecting on his time at the club, where he was also honoured with a place in Lancashire's Hall of Fame in 2021, Shuttleworth claimed: 'I bowled as fast as any quick you see now'. Following his retirement, Shuttleworth moved into business before becoming a respected first-class umpire.
