Lord Hawke's cricket team in Ceylon and India in 1892–93

An English cricket team led by Lord Hawke toured Ceylon and India in the Indian season of 1892–93.

It was the second visit by an English team to India, after G. F. Vernon's XI in 1889–90, and the third to Ceylon.

The team left Tilbury on 14 October 1892 and the tour ended in the first week of March 1893.

In all, they played 23 matches, of which 15 were won, 2 lost and 6 drawn.

The team consisted of fourteen amateurs, who each paid £150 to take part:[2] Hawke, Gibson, Hornsby, Leatham and Vernon had all been members of the 1889–90 touring team.

Jackson and Hill were students at the University of Cambridge and Jackson had just been appointed as the captain of Cambridge University; he later captained England.

Several of the team were good club cricketers rather than regular first-class players.
