MCC 'Not Woke' In Dumping Eton vs Harrow, Oxford vs Cambridge

By AFP News February 23, 2022 • 12:11 PM View: 1344

The chief executive of Marylebone Cricket Club insisted the decision to remove Eton v Harrow and Oxford v Cambridge from its annual fixture list at Lord's "did not arise as a result of any 'anxiety to kowtow to the woke police'".

Last week MCC, the owners of Lord's in northwest London, announced that the fixtures between the elite fee-paying schools and England's two oldest universities would no longer be guaranteed to be staged at the 'home of cricket' from next year.
