M.C.C. VISIT
BIG CRICKET PROSPECTS
ITINERARY, NEARLY READY
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. According to a statement today by the secretary of the New Zealand Cricket Council, Mr. W. H. Winsor, negotiations for the coming tour of the M.C.C. team are well in train. The itinerary is on the point of completion after being held up owing to the necessity of obtaining the racing dates, so as to prevent any clash with the fixtures. The details are to be published shortly. ' . The Dominion tour will be ten days longer than the "tour by 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 that there would be no "Test" matches, though there would be matches between the M.CiC. team and a New Zealand eleven. In the 1936-37 season, Mr. Winsor said, 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 the New Zealand public would see two overseas sides in the same season.
