PLUNKET SHIELD
PROPOSED NEW SCHEME REFERRED TO ASSOCIATIONS (By Telegragh—Press Association). CHRISTCHURCH, May 4. “At the annual meeting of delegates the management committee was asked to explore the possibility of admitting a fifth team to the Plunket Shield competition,’ said Mr D. E. Wanklyn, chairman of the management committee of the New Zealand Cricket Council, at a meeting tonight. “The committee is unable to recommend that a fifth team being admitted,” he said, “but it has evolved a scheme under which a major team, when travelling, should play a minor association in the North Island, where the request originated. The reason for this decision was partly the extreme difficulty of arranging a roster of matches,-partly the difficulty of players getting leave, and partly, in the committee’s opinion that the extending of the scope of the competition would impose a further financial burden on the council or on major associations.”
i The new scheme has been referred to all major associations.
