OVERSEAS’ TEAMS VISITS. CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. According to a statement made today by the secretary of the New Zealand Cricket Council (Mr Winsor), negotiations for the coming tour, by the M.O.C-. team are well in train. The itinerary is on the point of completion after being held up owing to the necessity for obtaining racing dates and -so prevent any clash of fixtures. Details would be published shortly. The Dominion tour will be 10 days longer than the tour of Gilligan’s team in 1929-30, and, if desirable, two more matches can be played. The team will arrive here in the middle of December. Mr Winsor emphasised the point that there would be no “Test” matches, though there would be matches between the M.C.C. team and a New Zealand eleven. In the 1936-37 season New Zealand would probably be visited by an Indian team under the control of Duleepsinhji. This tour was practically assured. In the same season the English Test team would make a short visit to New Zealand at the end of its Australian tour, so that the New Zealand public would see two overseas sides in the same season.
