Wellington (New Zealand): New Zealand Cricket on Wednesday announced their schedule for the upcoming home season as they will host a white-ball series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan this summer. They will play the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) series against England at the end of this year.
The three-match World Test Championship series against England commences in Christchurch on November 28, with Black Caps adding a white-ball series against Sri Lanka either side of the new year and eight white-ball contests against Pakistan from the middle of March.
It's a hectic white-ball schedule for New Zealand's men's side, with the Kiwis already having confirmed a tri-series against South Africa and Pakistan in February, just before the ICC Champions Trophy event in Pakistan.
The White Ferns will also play six matches against Sri Lanka in between those Australia games, with the Asian side touring New Zealand in March.
The summer schedule is here!
