Fi
J
After the lapse of 48 years Ceylon will be sending a cricket team to the Straits with Dr. C. H. Gunasekera as captain. This tour which has been organised by Mr. C. E. Jayewardene has aroused tremendous interest in Malaya, where a very hearty welcome awaits the Ceylonese team next month. The Ceylon cricketers will leave Colombo on April 3, on the P. and Q. Corfu and return to the Island by the F. and O. Hanpura on April 27.
All arrangements for the de- parture of a powerful Ceylon- ese team of cricketers for the Straits have now been com- pleted and it is expected that Dr. C. H. Gunasekera will have under his charge the following well-known players to whom Invitations have been extend- ed:---
D. S. Jayasundera, V. C. Schokman, L. D. 8. Gunasek- era, V. C. Samaraweera, R. Senanayake, H. S. Roberts, R. K. Albert, S. Gnanasekeram, 8. 8. Jayawickreme, G. G. Pereira. I. Rasanayagam, W. L Men- dis, Justin Kotelawala and M O. Gooneratna.
Several other Ceylonese' will be accompanying the team to Malaya and these include Messrs. C. Arumugam W. P. H. Dias, Stanley Dias, L. G.. Gunasekera, Dr. G. W. Karun- aratne and C. E. Jayewardene. who will be the Manager of the team.
DE SARAM NOT AVAILABLE
If all those invited are able to obtain the necessary leave the tourists should be a good all-round side and return with an unbeaten record: ".....
F. C. de Baram, who was invited to join the party has not been able to accept and this will cause much dis-
appointmment' in Malayo. where they are longing to see him playing cricket, tennis, and golf. It is hoped. how- ever, that another effect will be made to induce de Baram to go out to the F.M.S.
THE PROGRAMME The Ceylon team will reach Penang on April 7 and will play a whole day match there against a team got together by Mr. M. Saravanamutto, the old Ceylon cricketer. The tourists will then entrain at night for Kuala Lumpur and after a day's rest will begin their first "Test"
all-F.M.B. with April 9. This will be a three- day match. One of the home team will be the old Oxford Blue, T. M. Hart, who recently scored a century.

After this "Test" match the Ceylon team will take part in a tiger shoot and then leave for Singapore where they will play a one-day match on April 14 against the Ceylonese Club. On April 18, they will begin the Becond "Test" against an All- Malaya, XL
Another match will probably be played in Singapore before the team embark for Colombo. All the matches will be play- ed on turf wickets.
