Lumsden scored eight official goals for India from five international friendly matches against Australia during the Australia tour, considered as first ever international tour of the national side.[4][5] He also scored two more hat-tricks and a total of 10 goals from 11 matches during that tour from some friendly matches against clubs and Australian state teams.[7][8][9]
