Christchurch, July 20. According to a statement made today by the secretary of the New Zealand Cricket Council, Mr Winsor, negotiations for the coming tour by 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 the racing dates so as to prevent any clash with fixtures. Details will be published shortly. The Dominion tour will be ten days longer than the tour- by Gilligan’s team in 1929-30, and, if desirable, two more matches can be played. The team arrives here about the middle of December.

Mr Winsor emphasized 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. 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 tourj so that the New Zealand public would see two overseas sides in the same season.
