FIJIAN CRICKET TEAM SEEKS N.Z. TOUR
AUCKLAND, Feb. 5. For the first time in 50 years, a Fijiau cricket team is likely to tour New Zealand next season, according to Mr. P. A. Snow, secretary of the Fijian Cricket Assoeiation. The question of the tour is now under discussion with the New Zealand Cricket Council. A month's tour with 15 players and with matches against the four major and some minor cricket associations, is envisaged. Most members of the team, said Mr. Snow, will be natives and January is considered tlie likeliest month for a tour. The Fijian Assoeiation did not seek a profit from the tour but it was intcrested in the possibility that a successful tour might make possible visits to either Australia or England by a representative team.
