Info autore

Megan Ponsford’s career as a documentary photographer took a sharp turn in 2005 when she located a box of long-forgotten archives whilst working at the Melbourne Cricket Club. This led to researching the first Australian cricket tour to India in 1935/36 which combined her greatest passions: cricket, photography, cultural history, travel, the subcontinent and family. Megan completed her PhD in 2016 and has subsequently published extensively.
