WELLINGTON: New Zealand Cricket (NZC) on Wednesday announced the itinerary for the 2024-25 domestic season, which will see them play England, Sri Lanka and Pakistan in a packed schedule.
The busy schedule will begin in late November with the Black Caps playing a three-Test home series against England, which runs until December 18.
After the series against England, which will be part of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25, a white-ball series consisting of three T20Is and as many ODIs will be played against Sri Lanka.
After the Champions Trophy, Pakistan will travel to New Zealand to play five T20Is and three ODIs in late March and early April.
