The English cricket team in South Africa in 1913–14 was organised by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). The team played as MCC in the non-Test fixtures and as England in the five Test matches. They played 18 first-class matches including the Tests, winning 9 times with 8 draws and 1 defeat.^[1]

England was captained by Johnny Douglas. South Africa's captain in the Test series was Herbie Taylor. The series is notable for the exceptional bowling of England’s S.F. Barnes, and the determined batting of South Africa skipper Herbie Taylor. It would be the last Test series to be played until after World War I, when England toured Australia in December 1920.^[2]
