CRICKET TOUR
FIJIAN TEAM FOR NEW ZEALAND PROPOSAL FOR NEXT SEASON P.A. AUCKLAND, Feb. 5. For the first time in 50 years, a Fijian cricket team is likely to tour New Zealand next season. Mr P. A. Snow, secretary of the Fijian. Cricket Association, said to-day that the question of a tour is now under discussion with the New Zealand Cricket Council. A month’s tour with 15 players and with matches against the four major and some minor cricket associations is envisaged. Most of the members of the team, Mr Snow said, would be natives, and January was considered the likeliest month for the tour. The Fijian Association did not seek a profit from the tour, but it was interested in the possibility that a successful tour’ might make possible visits to either Australia or England by a representative team.
