Background

It was reported in April 1950 that the MCC would tour India, Pakistan and Ceylon in the 1951–52 season. The squad would play games over three-and-a-half months in India, over a month in Pakistan and over fifteen days in Ceylon.[2]

The English team

Шаблон:Div col end The manager was Geoffrey Howard. The team was announced in late July 1951. Poole replaced Jack Ikin, who was injured, before the team left. Leadbeater replaced Rhodes, who was forced to return home with an injury, early in the tour.[3]

Many of England's leading players made themselves unavailable for the tour, and the resultant team was widely regarded as a "second team".[1][4] Eight of the touring team – Howard, Carr, Leadbeater, Kenyon, Poole, Rhodes, Ridgway and Spooner – had no Test experience, while none of the team had played more than nine Tests.[3] None of the team had toured Australia and New Zealand in the Test series of 1950–51.[5][1]
