About this ebook
Ambassadors of Goodwill: MCC Tours between 1946/47 and 1970/71 looks at the death of the amateur ideal in English cricket. It assesses the MCC's attempt to foster goodwill within the Empire/Commonwealth via long, formal overseas tours which increasingly came into conflict with the rise of third-world nationalism and hard-nosed professionalism.
