The players, with ages at the start of the tour, were:

  • Warwick Armstrong (captain) (30)
  • Warren Bardsley (27)

    • From the originally selected team, Simpson replaced Stanley Hill, and Warne replaced Gar Waddy. The manager was Alick Mackenzie, who also played in the minor match against Taranaki.

    Only Armstrong, Bardsley, Hopkins and Whitty had played Test cricket. Emery, Kelleway, Mayne and Smith went on to play Tests.
