The break between the Southern and Northern Hemisphere seasons gives us a chance to look at some of the top statistical achievers across the IMC age groups.![]()
![]()
Below are the members of the 1000-run club and the 50-wicket clubs, across all age groups (40s, 50s, 60s and 70s) and formats (T20s, 45-overs and Test matches).![]()
![]()
This includes combined totals for players who have played multiple age groups. (As far as I can tell, only one player - Zamin Amin - has played in 3 age groups).![]()
![]()
Both clubs are exclusive - with just 7 and 6 members, respectively - although there are a few players bubbling under in each category, so we can expect some more additions to these clubs over the next few months.
The Northern Hemisphere masters cricket season starts in earnest very shortly, and it is shaping up to be the busiest one ever! ![]()

USA kick things off, hosting Australia Over-50s in Houston next month. The series will also include the "A" teams for both countries.![]()
![]()
As usual, there is lots happening in the UK between now and September, with England O50s hosting India, Zimbabwe, and Wales in the annual Marlborough Cup in late June and early July.![]()
![]()
New Zealand Over-50s will be undertaking their first ever UK tour, playing England three times, Scotland twice and Wales twice. ![]()
![]()
There are also O40Is involving England, India and Wales in late July.![]()

The pinnacle of the O60s season will of course be the IMC Over-60s World Cup, held in Toronto in August. Australia will be looking to defend the title they won in Chennai in 2024, but there are plenty of other strong contenders as the age group goes from strength to strength. This is also a great opportunity to develop the game in North America, so we wish Canada (CCMC) all the very best of luck.![]()
![]()
Then we have the IMC Over-40s World Cup in Guyana in October/November, which will be equally intriguing. South Africa won the last World Cup, at home in 2024, but this tournament is looking wide open at the moment. This is also the first IMC World Cup to be held in the West Indies, so good luck to them as well.![]()

IMC now has 15 full members and the game is growing exponentially, with a lot of interest in other countries as well.![]()

The over-70s stats have been updated, following the IMC Over-70s World Cup, held in New Zealand recently.![]()

Jim Phillips scored a century in the final to help England 70s Cricket Team lift the trophy and his all-round heroics throughout the tournament have seen him soar to the top of the IMC Over-70s World Rankings. His 119 points is one of the highest rankings achieved in any age group and is an extraordinary 46 points ahead of Canada's Farooq Kirmani. ![]()

Harrison is well clear on the list of most dismissals, with 13, five ahead of England's Godfrey Lamb. Note the high proportion of stumpings on this list.![]()

Given their dominance in the age group, it is unsurprising that English and Australian players monopolise the top 6 wicket-takers. Australia's Mike Riley leads the list with 29 (he also has 17 wickets at over-60s level, putting him close to the exclusive 50-wicket club).![]()
