ENGLISH WOMEN'S CRICKET TEAM GUARANTEE NECESSARY The New Zealand Women’s Cricket Council has advised the local Women's Cricket Association that Otago has been included in the itinerary of‘the touring English women’s team. The tourists will arrive in Dunedin on March 10 and play Otago on March 12 and 14. The game will take place, however, only if Otago can find the necessary £ 100 before February 28. Twentypound has been forwarded to Wellington, this being the result of special efforts made by the association before Christmas.
