The D'Oliveira affair was a prolonged political and sporting controversy relating to the scheduled 1968–69 tour of South Africa by the England cricket team, who were officially representing the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). The point of contention was whether or not the England selectors would include Basil D'Oliveira, a mixed-race South African player who had represented England in Test cricket since 1966, having moved there six years earlier. With South Africa under apartheid, the potential inclusion by England of a non-white South African in their tour party became a political issue.

  • El caso D'Oliveira fue una prolongada controversia política y deportiva relacionada con la gira programada en la temporada 1968-69 de la selección de críquet de Inglaterra —que representaba de forma oficial al Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC)—​ por Sudáfrica. El punto de discusión fue si los seleccionadores ingleses incluirían o no a Basil D'Oliveira, un jugador sudafricano mestizo que se había mudado a Inglaterra, y que había representado a ese país en test cricket desde 1966.​ Con Sudáfrica bajo el apartheid, la posible inclusión por parte de Inglaterra de un sudafricano no blanco en su gira se convirtió en un problema político.​ (es)
  • L'affaire D'Oliveira est une succession d'événements sportifs et politiques qui se sont déroulés principalement en 1968. Au centre de ces faits se trouve la question de la sélection de Basil D'Oliveira, un joueur de couleur d'origine sud-africaine, pour la tournée que doit effectuer l'équipe d'Angleterre de cricket en Afrique du Sud fin 1968 et début 1969. Alors qu'il n'est pas choisi initialement, il est amené à remplacer un coéquipier blessé. Pour le Premier ministre d'Afrique du Sud John Vorster, sa présence pour cette tournée est inacceptable. Refusant de se passer de D'Oliveira, le Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), alors responsable de la sélection anglaise, annule la tournée. (fr)
