1892-93 Indian cricket season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is a review of the 1892-93 Indian cricket season.
Although earlier dates have been tentatively put forward, first-class cricket definitely began in the 1892-93 season with two Europeans v Parsees matches at Bombay (match drawn) and Poona (Parsees won by 3 wickets).
Later in the season, Lord Hawke captained an English team that played four first-class matches including a game against "All India" on 26-28 January 1893.
