An Australian cricket team toured New Zealand from February to April 1921 to play nine first-class matches including two against New Zealand. The Australians also played the main provincial teams.The touring team
The Australian team, with ages at the start of the tour, was:
- Vernon Ransford
- Oswald Asher
- James Bogle
- Ted Forssberg
- Percy Hornibrook
- Bert Ironmonger
- Alan Kippax
- Allie Lampard
- Arthur Liddicut
- Lance Pellew
- Andrew Ratcliffe
- Vic Richardson
- Gar Waddy
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 One. John Ellis, Hunter Hendry, Johnny Moyes, Arthur Richardson, Donald Steele and Carl Willis were selected but were unavailable. They were replaced by Bogle, Forssberg, Hornibrook, Kippax and Waddy.
