New Zealand reveal schedule for upcoming home summer

Zealand have released their schedule for the upcoming home summer, with a whopping five different teams visiting for a total of 46 days of international cricket.

The three-match ICC World Test Championship series against the West Indies in December highlights the schedule release, but the Black Caps will also host trans-Tasman rivals Australia and England in white-ball series prior to taking on the Caribbean side across all formats.

The team will host South Africa in a five-game T20I series in March just outside the expected slot for the next edition of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, while New Zealand's women's side also host the Proteas and Zimbabwe for the first time early in 2026.

New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson is already looking forward to the busy upcoming schedule and is hoping he can continue to feature across all three formats.

“It feels like a marquee summer,” he said.

“The calibre of opposition means we'll be constantly tested for the duration of the season and that's what you want as a cricketer,” Jamieson said.

“It's great to have another three-Test series at home and I'm sure the fans will get in behind the Test team as they have in seasons gone by,” he said.
