BIG CRICKET,

NEW ZEALAND TOURS. THREE VISITING TEAMS

DURING NEXT TWO SEASONS,

CHRISTCHURCH, Saturday,

According to a statement which waa made to-day by the secretary of the New Zealand Cricket Council, Mr Winsor, negotiations for the coming tour -of the M.-C.C. team are well in train, the itinerary -being on the point •of completion after being held up owing to the necessity of obtaining racing dates so as to prevent any clash of fixtures. -Details will be published shortly. The Dominion tour will be ten days longer than the tour of Gilligan’s team in the 1929-30 season; and if desirable ■two more matches can be played. Tlie team will -arrive here in tlie middle of December.

Air Winsor emphasised the point that there would be no “test” matches, though there would be matches between the M.C.C. team and a New Zealand XI. In the 193 G-37 -season, he added, New Zealand would probably he visited toy an Indian team under the control of Duleepsinhji. This four was practically assured for the same season as that in which an English Test team would make a short visit to New Zealand at the end of its Australian tour, so the New Zealand public would see two overseas sides in the same season.
