The England national cricket team, organised by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), toured India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka from December 1972 to March 1973 and played a five-match Test series against the India national cricket team followed by three Tests against the Pakistan national cricket team. England were captained by Tony Lewis. The Sri Lanka national cricket team was not Test-qualified at that time and played a single first-class match against MCC in Colombo.
Having left India in February, MCC played four matches in Sri Lanka, two of which were first-class including one against the Sri Lanka national team which they won by 7 wickets.
In March, England played three Tests in Pakistan which were all drawn.
