1965 English cricket season
- 1965 English cricket season
The 1965 English cricket season was the first season since the 1912 Triangular Tournament in which England played Test series against two touring sides. In the first half of a damp summer, New Zealand were the tourists, and England won all three matches. The South African side that toured in the second half of the season proved much tougher opposition, and won the three-match Test series one-nil, with two matches drawn. This was the last tour of England by a South African side before the ending of sporting links because of apartheid.
The season also marked the end of Fred Trueman's international career, although he did not retire from first-class cricket until the end of the 1968 season.
