Australian cricket team in Ceylon and India in 1935–36

An Australian cricket team toured Ceylon and India in the winter of 1935-36.

This was a secondary tour by Australia whose "first team" had gone to South Africa. The team in India and Ceylon therefore played first-class matches only and not Test cricket.

The Australian team

The players, with their ages at the start of the tour in late October 1935, were:

As well, Frank Warne (29) played in three of the first-class matches, Frank Tarrant (54) and Joseph Davis (age unknown) each played in two, and Tarrant’s son Louis (31) played in one.

The tour

The tour began in October 1935 in Colombo with one first-class match against Ceylon which the Australians won by an innings and 127 runs.^[1]

From November 1935 to February 1936, the team played 16 first-class matches in India, including four matches against an All-India XI:

1st international at Bombay Gymkhana – Australia won by 9 wickets^[2]
2nd international at Eden Gardens, Calcutta – Australia won by 8 wickets^[3]
3rd international at Bagh-e-Jinnah, Lahore – India won by 68 runs^[4]
4th international at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Madras – India won by 33 runs^[5]
