The South African cricket team toured England in the 1924 season to play a five-match Test series against England. England won the series 3-0 with 2 matches drawn.

The South African squad

On 3 January 1924, the selectors named a 15-man squad for the tour of England. Billy Zulch was considered the most notable omission although he had only recently returned to playing cricket during the 1923-24 Currie Cup. Before leaving South Africa, captain Herbie Taylor indicated that Sid Pegler would be given a chance on the tour despite him not being in the original squad selection. The squad set sail from Cape Town on 4 April aboard the Arundel Castle, arriving in Southampton on 21 April. George Parker (24) also played three first-class matches (including the first two Tests) and Aubrey Faulkner (42) played one match, the Third Test. The manager was George Allsop, who had held the role on three previous tours of England.
