The India cricket team toured England in the 1936 season and played 28 first-class fixtures, winning only four whilst losing 12 and drawing 12.[1] They played three Test matches against England and lost the series 2–0 with one match drawn. England won the First Test by 9 wickets at Lord's; the Second Test at Old Trafford was drawn; England won the Third Test at The Oval by 9 wickets.
The India team was captained by the Maharajkumar of Vizianagram, who was neither the greatest player nor the greatest captain of all time. But the team did include several top-class players such as Vijay Merchant, Mushtaq Ali and C. K. Nayudu.

The Maharajkumar was named the captain. The Yuvraj of Patiala Yadavindra Singh declined to be a part owing to personal reasons. Syed Mohammad Hadi was named the treasurer of the squad for the tour.[2]

Controversy
Another top-class player was Lala Amarnath but the tour was marred by controversy as recorded in A Right Royal Indian Mess on ESPNcricinfo, with Amarnath being sent home early for spurious "disciplinary" reasons. Ultimately, after a long saga of closed ranks and establishment incompetence, he was completely exonerated.
