EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, the All India cricket team is seen playing their first-ever match against an English side at Pelsham Rye in Sussex, England, on 29th April 1932. The touring team, which represented India during the early twentieth century between the wars, is captured in monochrome, adding to the timeless charm of the image. The Maharajah of Porbandar, a prominent figure in Indian society, is seen autographing a cricket bat in the photograph, adding an air of royalty and prestige to the occasion. The team's visit to England marked a significant moment in the history of Indian cricket, as it was the first time that an Indian cricket team had toured England since the end of British colonial rule in India. The photograph captures the essence of the game in the early 20th century, with players dressed in traditional cricket attire and the Pelsham Rye ground in the backdrop. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of cricket as a sport that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. The photograph is a rare and valuable piece of Europeanana photography, showcasing the rich history of cricket and its global reach. The monochrome image, taken by an unknown photographer for Planet News, offers a glimpse into the past and the evolution of cricket as a sport. This photograph is a must-have for cricket enthusiasts, historians, and collectors alike.
