TEST CRICKET
WOMEN IN A NEW SPHERE. The English Women’s Cricket Association proposes to send a team to visit Australia in December, stated a member of the English Association recently. “We cannot send a fully representative team,” she advised the Daily Mail. “Every player who goes will have to pay her own fare, as the association cannot afliord to do so. That restricts the choice of players to a great extent. “Some of our best players, moreover, are school teachers, or in other professions, so that they could not get time off to make so long a journey. “The invitation will make our match. England v. the Rest, at Old Trafford, Manchester, next summer very important. It will be something of a trial match for the tour. “I suppose we shall take 15 or 16 players, and if we go to Australia in the ship that takes the Australian Test players back, they may give us a hint or two.”
