Pakistan to play New Zealand in bilateral series during Indian T20 League 2025

The New Zealand Cricket Board has announced the 2024/25 home season schedule. The Blackcaps will cross swords against Pakistan in a bilateral series consisting of a five-match T20I series and the three-game ODI series in March-April, which also coincides with the Indian T20 League 2025 season. 

Earlier in the year during the Indian T20 League 2024, the Blackcaps travelled to Pakistan to play a five-match T20I series, however, their players who have Indian league contracts chose to play for their respective franchises and the second-string team stepped up to play in Pakistan.

Also, New Zealand will play a three-match Test series against England in November-December as a part of their World Test Series campaign. Sri Lanka will also tour New Zealand for a white ball series consisting of a three-match T20I and an ODI series.
