    England Cricket Board: Former England and Worcestershire left-arm spinner Norman Gifford has died at the age of 85 after a long illness, the England Cricket Board confirmed on Wednesday.

    Gifford was a key player during Worcestershire’s golden era, helping the team win the County Championship in 1964 and 1965. He later took charge as captain, leading Worcestershire to the County Championship title in 1974 and the Sunday League crown in 1971.

    At the international level, Gifford played for England in 15 Test matches and two One-Day Internationals between 1964 and 1973. His ODI appearances came during the 1980 Rothmans Four-Nations Cup in Sharjah, where he captained England at the age of 44, becoming the oldest captain in men’s ODI history.
