England were the national cricket team of the country of the same name. Amongst other contests, they engaged Australia in the 1981 Ashes series, which they both won and lost with Tegan Jovanka's help. (PROSE: Graham Dilley Saves the World) Tegan was naturally antagonistic toward England, once telling Turlough that "we beat England, oh, I don't know, every time we play them?" (COMIC: The Forgotten)
At Heathrow Airport, Terminal One, in 1982, the Fifth Doctor obtained a newspaper and muttered his disappointment at "what English cricket is coming to". (TV: Time-Flight) As the Eighth Doctor would later recall, what he read was that England and India came to a draw in all three test matches between them that January. The matches were held in Calcutta, Chennai and Kanpur. This score knowledge helped the Eighth Doctor win £80,000 on the quiz show You Either Know It or You Don't in 2020. (AUDIO: Divine Intervention)
Whilst in prison on Folly, the Fifth Doctor organised a cricket match involving the entire prison population in which he suggested some 900-odd people play for Australia while the other 900-odd play for England. (AUDIO: Doing Time)
