New Zealand will be playing against South Africa and Australia as they announced a fixture for the new ICC World Test Championship cycle, as per ICC.
South Africa and New Zealand played a two-Test series back in 2022, when the Proteas came from behind to level proceedings 1-1. New Zealand claimed an innings victory in the first Test thanks largely to Matt Henry’s display, though the tourists hit back with a 198-run win. The hosts welcome the South Africans again on 4 February at the Bay Oval in Tauranga, before the second Test match at Seddon Park in Hamilton. New Zealand are still yet to win a Test series against South Africa either home and away.
The Black Caps then host Australia in Wellington and Christchurch in WTC play from February 29.
