EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from The Northcliffe Collection, England cricketer Derek Randall is seen in an unexpected setting during the 1977 tour of India. The image captures a moment of relaxation and adventure outside of the cricket field, as Randall playfully interacts with a large water buffalo in a rural Indian village. Derek Randall, a left-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, made his debut for England in 1973 against the West Indies. He went on to play in 37 Tests and 46 One-Day Internationals, scoring over 2,000 runs in each format. Known for his unorthodox batting style and quick reflexes behind the stumps, Randall was a valuable member of the England team during the late 1970s. During the 1976-77 tour of India and Pakistan, Randall and his teammates found time to explore the country between matches. This photograph, taken during their stay in India, shows Randall in a more casual setting, away from the pressures of international cricket. The water buffalo, a common sight in rural India, seems unfazed by the cricketer's presence, adding to the sense of tranquility and connection with the local culture. The Northcliffe Collection, part of the extensive archives of the Daily Mail and General Trust, is a treasure trove of historical photographs, including this rare image of Derek Randall with a water buffalo in India. The vintage photograph, with its timeless composition and evocative atmosphere, offers a glimpse into the lives of cricketers on tour and the rich cultural experiences they encountered during their travels.
