EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the spirit of the 1971 MCC (Marylebone Cricket Club) cricket team during their tour of India. The image, part of The Northcliffe Collection from the archives of the Mail Newspapers, showcases the team in a casual moment during their time in India. The MCC, established in 1893, is a prestigious cricket club based at Lord's Cricket Ground in London. The team's tours were a significant part of international cricket, providing opportunities for players to hone their skills against different opponents and build relationships with cricketers from around the world. The 1971 MCC team consisted of some of the best cricketers of the time, including the legendary Australian batsman Bill Lawry, who led the team, and English all-rounder Basil D'Oliveira. The team's tour of India was particularly noteworthy as it came during a time of political tension between India and Pakistan, and the tour was almost cancelled due to diplomatic issues. Despite the challenges, the tour went ahead, and the MCC team played matches against various Indian state teams and the Indian national team. This photograph, taken during a team practice session, captures the camaraderie and focus of the players as they prepare for their next match. The team members are seen here in their cricket whites, with their cricket equipment scattered around them, creating an authentic and engaging scene from a bygone era of cricket history.
