Peter Cranmer Will Lead Warwickshire

REPLACES EX-ENGLAND CAPTAIN WYATT SPECIAL TO THE "N.C.D.N."

London, Oct. 26.

Peter Cranmer, the English Rugby international, will captain the Warwickshire Cricket Club next season in succession to R. E. S. Wyatt.

The Executive Committee said today it was unanimously decided that a change in captaincy was in the best interests of the club.

There has been talk of Wyatt joining Surrey, for which he has birth qualification, but nothing has been definitely settled.

Wyatt, who captained England in 1930 at the Oval Test against Australia, is an all-rounder, steady bat and a good medium paced bowler.—Reuter,
