About the author

Edward Ralph Dexter CBE, known as Ted Dexter, nicknamed Lord Ted (born 15th May 1935 in Milan, Italy) was a former England International cricketer. A classical, hard hitting stylist and right-arm swing bowler, he captained Sussex and England during the early 1960s, and continued to fundraise for the MCC Foundation well into his retirement. He was also a keen amateur golfer and aviation fanatic. He sadly passed away in 2021.
