1920 English cricket season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1920 English cricket season had no Test cricket as the post-war recovery continued. Middlesex rose from 13th in 1919 to take the first of two back-to-back titles. Worcestershire returned to the championship after missing the 1919 season.
