Tours finalized after discussions between PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja and NZC Chairman Martin Snyden


LAHORE: New Zealand Cricket (NZC) has confirmed that it will tour Pakistan twice in 2022-23.
The tours have been finalized after discussions between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja and NZC Chairman Martin Snyden.
According to the PCB’s media release, New Zealand Cricket has confirmed it will tour Pakistan for two Tests and three ODIs in December/January 2022-23 as part of the Future Tours Programme and will return in April 2023 for 10 white-ball matches to make up for the September 2021 abandoned tour.
“The two Tests and three ODIs will be part of the ICC World Test Championship and ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League, respectively,” reads the statement.
New Zealand's second outing will feature the Black Caps in two additional ODIs and will now comprise five ODIs and five T20Is that will count towards the ICC Rankings.
The two boards will work together to finalise the dates for the upcoming tours, stated the PCB.
PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja expressed his pleasure at the development. "This reflects the strong, cordial and historic relations the two boards have and reconfirms Pakistan’s status as an important member of the cricket fraternity," he said.
NZC Chief Executive David White said the bond between the two boards was strengthened courtesy of some "very fruitful and constructive discussions" in Dubai between the chairmen of the two boards.
"It’s good to be going back," he said.
