The second team skipper, who regularly tops the club stats, has been invited to England over 50s training sessions before next year's seniors World Cup in India.

Khan, known in cricketing circles as the Doc as his day job is a GP, was born near Lahore but now has dual citizenship.

He said: "I'm very proud to make the group attending England nets in Essex after which the squad will be selected."

"My father always wanted me to join the medical profession while I have always loved cricket. It's strange how it has worked out winning England recognition at 50."

Timperley club chairman Jurjees Hasan said: "What a brilliant achievement...a first for the club."

The Doc has however made a patchy start to the season with his team losing their first two fixtures. He was the second top scorer on 46 behind fifty from opener Felix Birtles but the seconds were beaten by just two runs by Toft in front of a bumper crowd at Stockport Road.

The third team bolstered by a much heralded century from Tom Matthews lost to North East Cheshire while the fourth team made up the most miserable of Saturdays for the club - hammered by Middlewich.

Meanwhile it was a crash back down to earth for the first team given in skipper Ed Galley words a "hiding" by Hyde.

Timperley made a solid start putting on 59 for the first wicket. But with Jamie Matthews removed swiftly followed Dan Scholz with a direct hit from the boundary it was one way traffic for the home side. Hyde bowled Timperley out for 166 within 43 overs, a really poor batting display reported Galley. Hyde overseas player big hitting Aussie Coby Fitzsimmons completely dashed Timperley hopes with a brutal display slamming 106 off 52 balls including eleven sixes.

Galley said: "It was just one of those days when we were out performed. All we can do is pick ourselves back up and go against against Lindow at home on Saturday. We'll be chomping at the bit that's for sure."
