N.Z. TOUR OF ENGLAND

ONLY ONE TEST CONCEDED

WELLINGTON, Jan. 0. According to advice received from England, a proposal that New Zealand should be given three teists during the visit of its team to England next year, did not find favour with the M.C.C. It was confidently hoped that three tests would be allotted. The Board, however, had different views. They would not contemplate such, a disturbance, of domestic cricket as eight tests in successive years would cause, apart from which, there was no guarantee that the status of the New Zealand team would warrant full test engagements. : The recommendation to the AI.C.CL Oiicket Committee, is that one test must suffice. . - , . v
