Between 1949 and 1958, the 'condition of selection' was that no player could play for the B team if they had accrued more than one British Championship appearance.

"The F.A are introducing this season an intermediate committee to assist the main selection committee by searching for those players in those League by-ways which managers, fans and other have thought so neglected in the past. The new body of five will devote their activities exclusively to the Second and Third Divisions. The five are:-Harold Shentall, Chesterfield, David Wiseman, Birmingham, Frank Adams, Joe Richards, Barnsley and Harry Hughes." -Daily Herald, Monday, 20 August 1951
"Mr Joe Richards, of Barnsley, who is president of the Midland League, has succeeded Mr H. Shentall as chairman of the F.A.'s Intermediate International Selection Committee."- The Football Post, Saturday, 4 October 1952
The Iron Curtain tour is often credited as being an under-23 tour, but the England crest worn, as well as the itinerary and programmes, all confirm this as being a 'B' team tour.
