On the itinerary, there are four Tests scheduled, with two against the West Indies and two against Pakistan
New Zealand Cricket have announced that the men's team will have fixtures against West Indies and Pakistan later in the year before welcoming both Australia and Bangladesh in the new year.
They will begin their summer with a T20 series against West Indies at Eden Park with the first match on November 27th.
On the itinerary, there are four Tests scheduled, with two against West Indies and two against Pakistan. The first Test will begin in Hamilton on December 3rd.
The Blackcaps are currently fourth in the inaugural World Test Championship standings and good results in both series' would boost their chances of qualifying for the final, which is scheduled for next June.
The first Test against Pakistan at Bay Oval will be the eighth Boxing Day Test in New Zealand and the first since the Blackcaps beat Sri Lanka at Hagley Oval in 2018. Wellington (five Tests) and Christchurch have hosted the others.
Bangladesh are expected to play three ODIs and three T20Is during their tour, starting on March 13th.
While the Government has so far granted approval for the first two incoming teams, New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White was confident the other inbound tours would receive the green light.
“I’m thrilled to be making this announcement today, given the uncertainty and difficulties over the past six or seven months,” he said.
“We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the New Zealand government for helping us navigate this complex process, as we do to our commercial partners and especially Spark Sport and TVNZ, for their patience and understanding.
“Hosting these tours is incredibly important to us for two reasons: international cricket brings in revenue that funds the entire game of cricket in New Zealand and, also, it’s crucial that we look after the fans of the game and sport in general, especially during these difficult times.
