Confirmation of the coming visit of an Australian cricket team to the Dominion was forthcoming at a meeting of the New Zealand Cricket Council last evening. The tour will last approximately eight weeks, towards the end of the 1939-40 season. It was first announced on Wednesday last that leading Australian players. including D. G. Bradman, would be making the trip, playing a test match in Christchurch during the first weekend of March. The chairman, Mr H. M. Taylor said the Australian Board of Control had met the New Zealand Council very generously and the visiting side would arrive early in February, 1940. It was hoped to play between twelve and fourteen matches in the course of the allotted eight weeks, but it was impossible yet to give details definitely. The itineray had to be approved by the Australian Board of Control. When it was details would be published. There was certain to be some disappointment about the centres to be visited, but the council could not help that.
