1765 English cricket season
- 1765 English cricket season
The 1765 English cricket season gave an indication of increased cricket activity in the north of England as Leeds played Sheffield.
Few major cricket matches were reported in 1765 but events at the Artillery Ground in August may have been almost the last straw where this infamous old venue was concerned.
