COMING TOUR OF M.C.C.
New Zealand Itinerary is Almost Completed I ARRIVAL IN DECEMBER i . WILL 3E NO “TEST” MATCHES, (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, To-day. ' According to a statement to-day by the secretary of the New Zealand ! Cricket Council (Mr Winsor) negotiations for the coming tour,of the M.C.C. 1 team are well in train. The itinerary is 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. The details will be .published shortly. The Dominion tour will be ten days ' longer than the tour of Gilligan’s team ' in 392 D-30 and, if desirable, two more matches can be played. The team arrives 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. 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 oversea sides in the same season.
