Rangoon Gymkhana cricket team
Rangoon Gymkhana cricket team was a scratch cricket team formed in Rangoon, Burma. The team played a single first-class match in January 1927 at the Gymkhana Ground against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), resulting in a draw.[1]
A second scratch eleven was formed to play MCC on the following days at the Burma Athletic Association Ground.[2] This time the team was styled 'Burma'. Both teams were captained by Hubert Ashton, the Cambridge University and Essex batsman.[3] Six men appeared for both Burmese teams. All were European officials. Until 1948 Burma was administered as part of India.
