A
cricket team from
England, organised by the
Marylebone Cricket Club, toured
India and
Sri Lanka in the 1976-77 cricket season. They played five
Test matches against the
India national cricket team, with England winning three matches, India winning one and the other one being drawn. The MCC team played four matches in Sri Lanka after leaving India, but Sri Lanka was not yet a Test-class team.
Derek Underwood's (Eng) five-wicket haul meant he now had one against each Test-playing nation.[3]
Underwood finished the series with 29 wickets, equalling the record held by
Fred Trueman for most wickets by an England bowler in a Test series against India.[3]
