From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Julien Cahn's cricket team toured Ceylon and Malaya in March and April 1937.[1]

The team played nine games in all but the majority were against minor opposition. The team was unbeaten on tour, winning three times with six matches drawn. The only first-class match on the tour was against a Ceylon national XI at the Nomads Ground in Victoria Park, Colombo. Cahn's team won by 6 wickets.[2] Cahn's side included South African Test players Bob Crisp and Denys Morkel and the New Zealander Stewie Dempster, plus other members of Cahn's UK-based teams such as Jack Walsh and Tom Reddick.
