New Zealand Cricket (NZC) on Wednesday announced the 2024-25 home season itinerary where they will play England, Sri Lanka and Pakistan in a jam-packed schedule.
The jam-packed schedule will begin in late November with the Black Caps playing a three-Test series against England at home, which will run till December 18.
Once the series against England, which will be a part of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25, is over, a white-ball series comprising of three T20Is and as many ODIs will be played against Sri Lanka.
A tri-series against South Africa and Pakistan is already scheduled just before the commencement of the ICC Champions Trophy, which is to be played in Pakistan in the February and March window.
After the Champions Trophy, Pakistan will travel to New Zealand to play five T20Is, and three ODIs in late March and early April.
It is worth mentioning that Pakistan and New Zealand recently played a five-match T20I series in April 2024 before the T20 World Cup 2024 which was drawn 2-2.
Before that, Pakistan toured New Zealand to play a T20I series in January earlier this year, which they lost.
