Australian Cricket Team in New Zealand in 1920/21

The Australian team, with ages at the start of the tour, was:

The manager was Tom Howard of New South Wales.

As the Test series against England was still in progress when the tour began, the team for New Zealand was virtually an Australian second eleven. None of the players had taken part in the Test series. The only player with Test experience was Ransford, who played 20 Tests before World War I. John Ellis, Hunter Hendry, Johnny Moyes, Arthur Richardson, Donald Steele (named as captain) and Carl Willis were selected but were unavailable. They were replaced by Bogle, Forssberg, Hornibrook, Kippax and Waddy.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]
