Again, Rhodesia were deeply indebted to Transvaal for sending another team up to the country. This was managed and captained by Algy Frames, who did much to support Rhodesian cricket. Again, several leading players did not come, but Test players Bruce Mitchell, Jack Christy and Dalton Conyngham all made the trip, as did Louis Duffus, more well-known for his writings.

Rhodesia included a 17-year-old schoolboy, Jack Hayward, probably the country's most talented player before the Second World War. He was a superb left-handed batsman, top scorer on his debut, and many thought that only lack of opportunity prevented him from playing Test cricket for South Africa. One who did was Denis Tomlinson, batsman and leg-spinner, who toured England in 1935. Arnold Hyde, also a good amateur boxer, was another useful all-rounder and brilliant fielder making his debut. `Ken' Austin, who played in the second match, is believed to be the oldest surviving Rhodesian cricketer.

Transvaal narrowly won the first match against the Rhodesian team after being 98 behind on first innings, but applied themselves fully in the second match, overwhelming Rhodesia by an innings.
