The Black Caps will play tests in New Zealand for the first time since winning the ICC World Testing Championship when they face Bangladesh and South Africa.

New Zealand Men will open the summer with two tests against Bangladesh starting on New Years Day at Bay Oval. The visitors will aim for their first test victory at Aotearoa after nine straight losses over five rounds.

Two more tests against the Proteas in February could put the Black Caps in a good starting position in their ICC Test World Championship defense, but the home side will also need to find a way to beat South Africa in a series of testing for the first time. .

The White Ferns will be part of the action when they host India Women in a T20I and five ODIs in February.

These white ball matches will be an ideal warm-up for both teams ahead of the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup to be held in New Zealand from March 4 to April 3, 2022.

To cap off a scorching New Zealand cricket summer, the Black Caps will have the opportunity to take revenge on their most passionate rivals Australia when they host three T20Is against the team that beat them in the final of the 2021 T20 ICC Men’s World Cup.

The test series against Bangladesh and South Africa will be part of the current cycle of the ICC World Testing Championship.

Under the new World Testing Championship points system, each match is awarded a total of 12 points, regardless of the length of the series. A victory is worth 12 points for the winners, a tie is worth six points each and a draw is worth 3 points for each team.

To even out the imbalance in the number of games played, the WTC 21-23 ranking will be based on the percentage of available points accumulated.
