Tarrant to take a team of Australian cricketers to India tho Australian Cricket Board of Control stipulated that the team should be known as the Maharajah of Patiala’s team of Australian cricketers, and that the tour would be entirely unofficial. No Tests were to be played, and the team must not be regarded as representative of Australian cricket.
