Australian cricket team in Ceylon and India in 1935-36
- 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 team was captained by Jack Ryder and included Charlie Macartney, Bert Ironmonger, Hunter Hendry and Lisle Nagel.
The tour began in October 1935 in Colombo with [http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/15/15624.html one first-class match] against Ceylon which the Australians won by an innings and 127 runs.
From November 1935 to February 1936, the team played 16 first-class matches in India, including four matches against an All-India XI:
