New Zealand Announced International Home Summer Schedule

Auckland: Cricket fans can look forward to one of the biggest home international programmes in New Zealand history this summer with visits from England, India, Australia, the South African women’s side, and India A.

The international summer will start early, with England arriving in late October ahead of playing five T20s and two Tests – the first at Bay Oval, which will become New Zealand’s ninth Test venue.

The Blackcaps return home after playing a three Test series in Australia to prepare for the arrival of India in late January, a blockbuster of a tour which includes five T20s, three ODIs and two Tests, to be played at the Basin Reserve and Hagley Oval, respectively.

Features of this visit include a World Test Championship clash between the World No.1 and No.2 ranked sides, and the return to Eden Park for an intensive period of white ball cricket which also incorporates two ODIs between the WHITE FERNS and South Africa on the Outer Oval.

The Kiwis will also see a lot of Australia over the duration of the summer; travelling across the Tasman for a Test series in December-January, and again for an ODI series in March, before hosting a three-match T20 series at the end of the season.
