S. B. Joel's cricket team in South Africa in 1924–25
International cricket tour / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
S. B. Joel's XI was a team of English cricketers that toured South Africa between November 1924 and February 1925 and played 14 first-class matches and seven other games.[1] The tour was an unofficial one: an official tour of Australia organised by the Marylebone Cricket Club took place at the same time.
The tour was financed by the South African cricket authorities with assistance from the wealthy Anglo-South African financier Solomon Joel; at the time, it was generally referred to as "the Hon. L. H. Tennyson's XI" after the team's captain, Lionel Tennyson.[1]
