  The Australian Cricket Board has announced a crowded schedule for their
next season. India will play 5 tests starting in November. The crowded
schedule allows only two matches before the first test. Then there will be
a triangular one-day series between India, Australia and West Indies. This
will be followed by the World Cup which gets under way on February 22. The
final is scheduled for March 25 at Sydney or Melbourne. It was also mentioned
that the possiblity of South African participation in the World Cup was
being considered.

  The South African cricket board is holding celebrations to mark its 
becoming a multiracial body. Among the guests is Sunil Gavaskar who has been
granted special permission to travel there (since Indian passports are
not valid for travel to South Africa). The Indian government said that it
did not plan to normalize relations with South Africa yet.
