BIG CRICKET.
NEW ZEALAND TOURS. THREE VISITING TEAMS. DURING NEXT TWO SEASONS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. According to a statement which was made to-day by the secretary of the New Zealand Cricket Council, Mr. Winsor, negotiations for the coming tour of the M.C.C. team are well in train, tlie itinerary being on the point of completion after being held up owing to the necessity of obtaining racing dates so as to prevent any clash of fixtures. Details will be published' shortly.
The Dominion tour will be ten days longer than the tour of Gilligan's team in the 1929-30 season 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 XI.
In the 1930-37 season, lie added, New Zealand would probably be visited by an Indian team under the control of Duleepsinliji. This tour was practically assured for the same season as that in which an English Test team would make a short visit to New Zealand at the end of its Australian tour, so the New Zealand public would see two overseas sides in the same season.
