[3] Latham himself made his international debut during the 1927–28 season, aged 19, when Brazil visited Buenos Aires to play a three-match series against the Argentine national team.
[1] Along with Arthur Grass and Ronald Pryor, Latham was one of only three Brazilians (out of a fifteen-man squad) to be named in the composite South American team that toured the British Isles during the 1932 season.
He went on to play in five of the six first-class matches on tour, generally opening the batting with Argentina's Henry Marshal, and also featured in most of the minor fixtures.
[8] Latham's highest score during the first-class portion of the tour was an innings of 58 against Scotland, which came from third in the batting order.
[9] In the other matches, he recorded three more half-centuries – 68 against the Affiliated South American Banks team, 65 against the Richmond Cricket Club, and 86 against the Gentlemen of Surrey.
