S. B. Joel's XI cricket team in South Africa in 1924–25

S. B. Joel's XI cricket team in South Africa in 1924–25 was a team of English cricketers which toured South Africa between November 1924 and February 1925 and played 14 first-class cricket matches and seven other games.^[1] The tour was an unofficial one: an official tour of Australia organised by the Marylebone Cricket Club took place at the same time.

The tour was financed by the South African cricket authorities with assistance from the wealthy Anglo-South African financier, Solomon Joel; at the time, it was generally referred to as "the Hon. L. H. Tennyson's XI" after the team captain, Lionel Tennyson.^[1] Several of the players had Test cricket experience before or after the tour. They included Jack Russell, Jack MacBryan, Percy Holmes, Harold Gilligan, Charlie Parker, Ernest Tyldesley and George Geary. Ewart Astill, who was coaching in South Africa, joined in two of the matches against a side representing South Africa.
