New Zealand agree to rest rather than three-day match
Lynn McConnell - 1 May 2002
New Zealand have agreed to a match being dropped from the itinerary of their West Indies tour.
New Zealand Cricket's chief executive Martin Snedden said today that a request had been received from the West Indies to drop a planned three-day game between the One-Day Internationals and the first Test.
Snedden said the West Indians felt it would be better to have three days as rest days and he agreed, especially after the vigorous programme of games New Zealand will have had in Pakistan and in the ODIs.
Apart from a one-day warm up game against the University of West Indies Vice Chancellor's XI in Jamaica, every other game on the tour will be an international.
