The team left Tilbury on 14 October 1892 and the tour ended in the first week of March 1893. There were four first-class matches, all of them in India, including the first match ever to involve an All-India XI. In all, they played 23 matches, of which 15 were won, 2 lost and 6 drawn. Three of the matches were played in Ceylon.[1]
Lord Hawke fell ill early on the tour (as he had on the previous tour of 1889–90) and missed matches in Ceylon.
