From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An English cricket team raised by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) toured the West Indies from January to March 1926 and played twelve first-class matches, including three against the West Indies cricket team which had not then achieved Test status. MCC, who were captained by Freddie Calthorpe, played their matches at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown; Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain; Bourda, Georgetown; Sabina Park, Kingston; and Melbourne Park, also in Kingston. In the matches between the West Indies and MCC, the first in Bridgetown was drawn; MCC won by 5 wickets in Port of Spain; and the final match in Georgetown was drawn.[1]
