TEST TEAM AGAINST AFRICANS WILL LARWOOD PLAY? * United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, April 27. “Reynolds” newspaper says that behind Mr P. F. Warner's appointment to the chairmanship of the English Cricket Test Selection Committee, is the hope that Harold Larwood, the Notts express bowler, will reappear in the Test arena. “Reynolds” prophesies that Larwood will play against the South Africans, although it doubts if he will visit Australia in 1936.
