From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1962 English cricket season was the last in which the famous old Gentlemen v Players fixture took place. This was as a result of the distinction between amateurs ("Gentlemen") and professionals ("Players") being abolished following the end of the season. See also: Amateur and professional cricketers.
