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]
