 The presence in the England team of left-arm spinner Hedley Verity undoubtedly restricted Langridge's Test opportunities.After Verity's death in the War, Langridge was picked at the age of 40 for the MCC tour of Australia in 1946–47 under Wally Hammond, and was chosen for the Third Test at Melbourne, but had to withdraw after injuring his groin in practice.He never played Test cricket again.
