The New Zealand Cricket (NZC) announced their 2022 season where the men will host Bangladesh, Australia, South Africa, and the Netherlands, while the women’s side will welcome India as well.
The season will start with a two-Test series against Bangladesh in January followed by a trip to Australia for 3 ODIs and a one-off T20I.
Kane Williamson’s side will then face South Africa in 2 Test matches at home in March; both the Test series are part of the second cycle of the WTC. New Zealand will begin their WTC defence against India in Kanpur and Mumbai from November 25. They will also fly to England next June for a 3-Test series.
New Zealand and Australia, the two sides who will meet this Sunday in the T20 Men’s World Cup 2021 final, will also clash in a three-match T20I series, to be played in March.
Their home season concludes with a one-off T20I and 3 ODIs against the Netherlands. These three ODIs as well as those against Australia will be part of the ICC ODI Super League.
The women’s team, meanwhile, is set to host India in a home series in February which comprises a one-off T20I followed by five ODIs, helping the teams in preparation for the Women’s 50-over World Cup which will also take place in New Zealand in March-April 2022. The Women’s World Cup was postponed by a year due to the pandemic.
