Notable Events
  • Colin Cowdrey becomes the first man to play in 100 Tests and marks the occasion by scoring a century against Australia. Australia retain the Ashes after the 1968 series is drawn 1-1.
  • South African-born Basil D’Oliveira is eventually added to England’s squad to tour South Africa, having not been selected in the original party. South Africa’s objections on the grounds of his colour lead to the tour being cancelled.
