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.

[1] 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.

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.

He lost his place at the end of the 1959-60 tour to Jim Parks, and later also fell behind John Murray in the Test selectors' eyes.

Surprisingly retiring from county cricket after the 1961 season, he returned in 1966 to play for Nottinghamshire.
