England in New Zealand 2013

England Unveil New Zealand Tour Itinerary 2013

Wellington/London: England will travel straight to New Zealand at the end of their tour of India next January after the schedule for their trip was released on Wednesday.

England will meet the Black Caps in three Tests, three one-day internationals and three Twenty20s in a two-month tour that will be their first trip to New Zealand since 2008.

England's players will fly directly from their five-match one-day international tour of India, which finishes in Chandigarh on January 27, and will arrive in Auckland two days later.

The announcement ensures that England will have no significant time off until March next year.

After arriving in New Zealand, England's players will have 11 days to prepare for the opening Twenty20 at Eden Park, Auckland, with two warm-up matches scheduled in between.

Following the limited overs series, the first Test will start on March 6 at Dunedin's University Park -- the first time the venue has hosted an England Test since 1966.

The second Test is due to start in Wellington on March 14 before the tour returns to Auckland for the final match beginning on March 22.
