Pelham 'Plum' Warner — Founder of the MCC Tour Tradition, 1900s
MCC, Middlesex, England
1903-12-11
Pelham 'Plum' Warner, the Trinidad-born Oxford-educated Middlesex amateur, captained the first MCC team to tour Australia under the club's name in 1903-04 and won that series 3-2. The tour established the convention that English overseas tours were thereafter MCC enterprises rather than private commercial ventures, an institutional change in international cricket whose effects lasted until 1977.
