His brothers, Vic and Donald, also played first-class cricket for Leicestershire.

Cricket career

Ten years younger than his brother Vic, who played regularly for Leicestershire between 1946 and 1957, Paul Munden's first-class career overlapped with Vic's by only a single game, the match against Oxford University in which he made his debut in June 1957.[2] When Paul Munden returned to the Leicestershire first team later in the season it was as a direct replacement for Vic, who had played in the previous match and who did not play any further first-team cricket thereafter. Paul Munden's first-class cricket overlapped with the shorter first-class career of his other brother, Donald Munden, and they played alongside each other as middle order batsmen in two matches in the 1961 season.

Paul Munden himself had an irregular first-class career and never appeared in more than 11 matches in a season.[3] He passed 50 in five innings, but his highest score was only 77, made in 1963 against Sussex, and in no season did his batting average rise above 20 runs per innings.[4] In 1964 he had a particularly poor batting season and though he appeared in his only List A match that year it was his last season in senior cricket.[3] He continued to play intermittently for Leicestershire's second eleven through to 1976.[5]
