Marylebone Cricket Club cricket team in New Zealand in 1960–61

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

An English team raised by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) toured New Zealand between December 1960 and March 1961 to play four first-class matches against New Zealand. MCC also played against each of the main provincial teams – Auckland, Central Districts, Northern Districts, Canterbury, Otago and Wellington – and 12 matches against minor association teams.[1]

The MCC team was captained by

Jim Parks, John Murray, David Allen and David Larter. The manager was the experienced New Zealand official Jack Phillipps.[2] To save money, team members were billeted throughout the tour.[3]
