(Updated as of 24 July 2022) The name 'Nondescripts Cricket Club' derives from a 19th-century London-based team.

The Nondescripts were a 'wandering' cricket club with no fixed ground and a team composed of players of all standards.

A New Zealand Nondescripts Club was established in 1962 to promote "the principles of the game of Cricket, especially sportsmanship and high standards in dress, attitude and application."

It too is a 'wandering' club drawn mainly from Wellington and Lower Hutt players; eight NZ internationals have played for the club, including Ewen Chatfield, John Reid and Bob Blair.

Consisting largely of Sri Lankan expatriates, both Sinhalese and Tamil, it later merged with another club and changed its name.
