Touring Team
Harold Austin seems to have taken a large part inorganising the tour and after the 1922-23 Inter-Colonial Tournament in September 1922. He seems to have selected the Barbados, British Guiana and Trinidad tourists. Little was known of the Jamaica players and they were allocated just 3 places.
The 16 players that made up the team consisted of:
| Name | |
|---|---|
| H.B.G. Austin (c) | Barbados |
| C.R. Browne | British Guiana |
| G. Challenor | Barbados |
| L.N. Constantine | Trinidad |
| G.A.R. Dewhurst | Trinidad |
| M.P. Fernandes | British Guiana |
| G.N. Francis | Barbados |
| J.K. Holt | Jamaica |
| C.V. Hunter | British Guiana |
| H.W. Ince | Barbados |
| G. John | Trinidad |
| R.K. Nunes (vc) | Jamaica |
| V.S. Pascall | Trinidad |
| R.L. Phillips | Jamaica |
| J.A. Small | Trinidad |
| P.H. Tarilton | Barbados |
Despite being 17 years since the last tour, two of the tourists, Austin and Challenor, had been part of the 1906 team. Learie Constantine was the son of Lebrun Constantine who had toured in 1900 and 1906. Victor Pascall was the uncle of Learie Constantine.
R.H. Mallett was the manager. Austin was chosen as captain and Nunes as vice-captain.
The professionals Francis and John were black as were Browne, Constantine, Holt, Pascall and Small amongst the amateurs.

Famous quotes containing the word team:
“They’re two good old friends of mine. I call them Constitution and The Bill of Rights. A most dependable team for long journeys. Then I’ve got another one called Missouri Compromise. And a Supreme Court—a fine, dignified horse, though you have to push him on every now and then.”
—Dan Totheroh (1895–1976)
