An interesting tidbit.

Kenneth Burn, Australia’s 56th Test cricketer, made his Test debut during the 1890 tour of England.

Though Burn was one of Tasmania's most prolific batsmen at the club level in the 19th century, he was selected as a wicketkeeper for the tour.

In a twist that raised eyebrows, Burn admitted only after boarding the ship to England that he had never kept wickets before—a selection decision later described as farcical.

Despite the controversy, Burn represented Australia in two Test matches during his career.
