AUCKLAND: The 2026–27 domestic international season will feature a busy schedule for New Zealand cricket, with the Blackcaps and White Ferns set to host Sri Lanka and Bangladesh Women following a major tour of India.

The New Zealand men’s team will face Sri Lanka in a full multi-format series with three ODIs, three T20Is and two Tests scheduled for January and February.

Underlining a jam-packed international calendar across all formats, New Zealand’s home summer will conclude ahead of a four-Test tour of Australia.

Meanwhile, the WHITE FERNS will host the Bangladesh Women for a six-match white-ball series with three T20Is and three ODIs scheduled from December 10 to 23.

It will be New Zealand Women’s only homework of the summer ahead of the opening match of the ICC Women’s Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka in February.
