Senior Cricket

Our long-established senior section has 3 Saturday league teams and one Sunday league team (50-over cricket). We are known to be a friendly club offering cricket to a wide range of abilities and ages from 13 to 70 odd! We welcome anyone to join the ranks, so please enquire via the links below.

First Team

Our first team will play in Staffordshire League Premier Division in the 2022 season and will be led by Euan Hammond.
Captain

Euan has been playing for Whittington since he was 9 years old, making his way through Whittington C.C.’s junior set-up, surviving the transition into the Second Team, and is now a 1s regular. An opening batsmen, strong fielder and wannabe bowler, Euan enjoys sledging Dave Lote, playing on Whitt’s short boundaries (that even he can clear occasionally), and a nice early coin toss.

Second Team

Our second team will play in Staffordshire League Division Four in the 2022 season and will be led by Kaushal Shah.
Captain

‘Kash’ joined the club in 2013, in hopes of getting back to his first love cricket, after a long hiatus of 15 years. Before donning whites  for Whittington, Kash had only played tennis ball street cricket in India. It didn’t take long for him to find his feet in red ball cricket and very soon Kash became a staple part of the 2s squad, thanks to his consistency & economy with the ball at the top of the inning and some useful runs in the middle order. This season Kash is hoping to add a few more 5 wicket hauls and the elusive milestone of his first ton in a league game.

Third Team

Our third team will play in Staffordshire League Division Six in the 2022 season and will be led by Adrian Tennant. We aim to use the third team to bring junior players through into playing Saturday senior cricket, alongside some more experienced heads.

Captain

Adrian started playing for the Club 10 years ago, initially to introduce his son Ben to the game, following a period coaching and managing junior teams. This will be his 7th season in charge of the 3s. He has been balancing the tricky feat of bringing in junior players, keeping our more experienced players happy and winning enough games to move slowly up the leagues with aplomb! Too regularly ends up batting far too low down, in order to give the rest more opportunities.

Sunday First Team

Our Sunday First team will play in Lichfield & District Cricket League Division 4 in the 2022 season. Our aim is to use this team as a way of introducing junior players to senior cricket. Our fixture details, squad members, statistics etc. can be found below.

Captain

Rob has taken over leading the Sunday team this season. With a successful start to life he has given junior players a great introduction to senior cricket while also managing some more senior players. An accomplished batsmen Rob has played senior cricket for years scoring runs for every side he has played for.
