MCC is understood to have agreed to an 11th-hour about-turn over their axing of Eton-Harrow and Oxford-Cambridge fixtures at Lord's.

A climbdown amid protests from a rebellion group comes just 24 hours after incoming president Stephen Fry backed the governing body to stand its ground at a crunch meeting with members. Accusations that MCC "trampled over the history and traditions of Lord's" by ditching the matches were due to be thrashed out at a special general meeting. But just a day before facing a resolution to reinstate the historic fixtures, the MCC Committee has agreed a compromise.

In an email to members, Guy Lavender, chief Executive of the MCC, said: "I write to advise you that the Special General Meeting scheduled for 18.00 tomorrow will not now take place. The MCC Committee has agreed to a request, received from the requisitionists this morning, to withdraw the Resolution and cancel the SGM, in the best interests of the Club.

"Both the committee and the requisitionists continue to believe in their respective points of view, but we will now work together on next steps, to include a consultation process with Members with a view to considering the future of the two fixtures at the 2023 AGM. Noting the time needed for this consultation, it has been agreed by both parties that the Club will invite the four institutions to play their respective matches (Oxford v Cambridge and Eton v Harrow) at Lord’s in 2023."
