The MCC Ashes tour of Australia from 1911 to 1912 was a significant event in cricket history. Led by Pelham "Plum" Warner, the tour faced an early setback when Warner fell ill, leading to Johnny Douglas assuming the captaincy for the Test series. Despite losing the first Test in Sydney, England dominated the subsequent matches, winning the series 4-1 and regaining The Ashes.
