N.Z. team manager is quitting tour
NZPA staff correspndent London The manager of the New Zealand cricket team, Mr Bob Vance, will quit the tour of England over the next few days. Mr Vance said today that “due to ill-health and associated personal problems,” he would return to New Zealand this week.
Mr Vance, who is also chairman of the New Zealand Cricket Council, said a new manager would not be appointed. “The management of the tour at this stage is well organised, and it will
not be necessary to appoint a replacement manager,” he said. The cricket manager, Mr Glenn Turner and the medium-pacer, Ewen Chatfield, whose fractured thumb will keep him out of action until after the second test, will share the management duties.
Mr Vance said the opener, Bruce Edgar, an accountant, would assist with the financial responsibilities. “The team is in good heart, and I will leave it confident that the tour will be most successful,” he added.
