tour of England was aborted. To replace the tour, a series of five games was played between a "Rest of the World" XI and the England Test team.

Ray Illingworth

, who won one game, and lost the other four.

Rebel tours to South Africa

South Africa was banned from world cricket in the 1970s and 1980s because of the apartheid regime then operating in that country. In the 1980s, South Africa paid a number of leading cricketers to visit on private tours. The visitors were identified by country, and they played matches that were called "Test matches" in South Africa. These games, however, have no official status.
