New Zealand is set to host England in a three-match test series at home. This series will mark the start of summer for Kiwis, and they will also host Pakistan and Sri Lanka later this year.
The opening match of the series will be played in Hagly Oval on November 28. Which will be followed by Basin Reserve and Wellington before the tour ends in Hamilton.
The Blackcaps last hosted Australia for a two-match test series, which the hosts lost by a margin of 2-0. However, the series was thoroughly enjoyed by the crowd.
Speaking about the same NZ cricket, Scott Wennink said, “In the past, there’s often been a lot of talk in New Zealand about the popularity of Test cricket—without that translating into ticket sales or viewership numbers.
Scott further added, “The difference over the past summer, and in terms of the upcoming Tests against England, is that the interest is being converted to bums on seats and is driving record viewership numbers. We’re looking forward to continuing over the upcoming summer and welcoming the England team and their fans to the Tests, and of course all the Kiwi-based supporters as well.”
