INDIAN TEAM’S TOUR VISIT TO NEW ZEALAND. POSSIBLE INVITATION. f Per Piese Association.] . CHRISTCHURCH, June 29. A tour of New Zealand by an Indian cricket team under charge of the Maharaja Ohirau of Patiala is possible during the 1933-34 season. The Maharaja of Patiala is vice-patron of the Board of Control for cricket in India. Information concerning tho suggested tour camo before the meeting of the management committee of the N.Z. Cricket Coun*eil last night in the form of two letters from Mr. F. A. Tarrant, now coach to the Indian team playing in England. The proposal made on behalf of the Maharaja is that he bring his private cricket team to New Zealand in 1933, arriving in the Dominion in December to play eight to twelve matches. His Highness wants no guarantee but suggests the same division of gate money as other touring sides received. The team would include Duleepsinhji, tho Nawab of Patuada, and the pick of the Indian team touring England this year. It would also play the usual matches in Australia. It would be a really goon side composed entirely of amateurs, with the addition of L. N. Constantine, the West Indies player.

The reply of the Cricket Council, it was reported, had been that such a team would be very welcome, but the invitation would depend on the result of negotiations already in train for the visit of another side to tour New Zealand in the same season. If that did not eventuate the New Zealand Council would be glad to invite the Maharaja’s team.
