New Zealand to host Bangladesh, Australia, and South Africa in the 2023-24 season

New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has announced two blockbuster Test series in its upcoming home season. The Kiwis will host South Africa and Australia for Test matches, while Bangladesh and Pakistan will tour New Zealand for white-ball games.

New Zealand's season starts with hosting Bangladesh for three ODIs and as many T20Is starting on December 17. The ODIs will be played in Dunedin, Nelson, and Napier. Napier will host the opening T20I before the two sides travel to Tauranga for the next two matches.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's five-match T20I series against the Kiwis will start on January 12. The Kiwis will host the Men In Green in Auckland, Hamilton, and Dunedin for the first three T20Is before moving to Christchurch for the final two games.

Before hosting the World Test Champions (WTC) Australia for the first time since 2016, New Zealand will lock horns with South Africa, hoping to secure their first series victory over the Proteas. The two sides will play in Mount Maunganui and Hamilton.

In addition to playing two Tests in Wellington and Christchurch, the Trans-Tasman rivals will also lock horns in three T20Is in Wellington and Auckland. The Aussies had clinched the series by a comfortable 2-0 margin in 2016.

Meanwhile, the season will start with New Zealand Women's three T20Is and as many ODIs against Pakistan Women, beginning on December 3. It will end with the White Ferns hosting England Women for five T20Is and three ODIs in March-April.
