The New Zealand cricket team will visit Pakistan next year in December (2022), January (2023) to play two Tests and three ODIs. The visiting team will return to Pakistan in April 2023 to play ten white-ball matches.
The tours have been finalized after discussions between Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Rameez Raja and New Zealand cricket chairman Martin Snyden.
The two Tests and three ODIs included in the New Zealand cricket team’s first tour of Pakistan will be part of the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Test Championship and the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League, respectively.
The visiting team is scheduled to play five ODIs and five T20 Internationals in the second tour. Both boards will now finalize the tour dates.
Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Rameez Raja said that he is grateful to Martin Snyden and his board and is very happy with the outcome of the meetings with them.
He said that it was a guarantee of strong ties between the two boards and a confirmation that Pakistan is an important member of the cricket community.
New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White says Rameez Raja and Martin Snyden had fruitful and constructive talks in Dubai, which has further strengthened the relationship between the two boards.
It may be recalled that Pakistan will now host 8 Tests, 11 ODIs, and 13 T20I matches against Australia, England, and New Zealand from March 2022 to April 2023.
The Pakistan New Zealand cricket team canceled the tour in September this year due to security concerns.
