ENGLISH CRICKET TEAM
TOUR OF NEW ZEALAND (Pee United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, July 20. 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. 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 in the fixtures. The details will be published shortly. The Dominion tour will be ten days longer than the tour of Gilligan's team in 1929-30, and if desirable two more matches can he 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 team. t In the 1936-37 season 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.
