The South African national cricket team was meant to tour Australia over the 1971-72 Australian summer. However the tour was cancelled after protests from the anti-apartheid movement.

The Australian Cricket Board had been influenced by the protests that accompanied the 1971 South Africa rugby union tour of Australia.[1]

South Africa squad: [2]


The tour was replaced by a tour from a Rest of the World XI. This team included the Pollock brothers and Ackerman.

South Africa did not tour Australia again until 1992.
