Sri Lanka, Pakistan visits confirmed as New Zealand reveal packed summer schedule
England, Sri Lanka and Pakistan will tour New Zealand this summer, while the Kiwis' women's side will take on Australia and Sri Lanka on home soil.
New Zealand have confirmed they will host white-ball series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan this summer alongside their previously announced ICC World Test Championship series against England at the end of this year.
The Kiwis' men's and women's team revealed their summer schedule on Wednesday, with the sides set to host international matches from the end of November all the way through to the start of April.

The three-match World Test Championship series against England commences in Christchurch on November 28, with New Zealand adding white-ball series against Sri Lanka either side of the new year and a further eight white-ball contests against Pakistan from the middle of March.
It's a hectic white-ball schedule for new Zealand's men's side, with the Kiwis already having confirmed a tri-series against South Africa and Pakistan in February just prior to the ICC Champions Trophy event also in Pakistan.

New Zealand's women's side also face a busy period, with the White Ferns scheduled to play trans-Tasman rival Australia in a three-match series in Australia in September just prior to their ICC Women's T20 World Cup campaign in Bangladesh in October.
They will once again take on Alyssa Healy's side on home soil during the New Zealand summer, with three ODI matches scheduled for the middle of December and another three T20I contests to take place in March.

The White Ferns will also play six matches against Sri Lanka in between those Australia games, with the Asian side to tour New Zealand during March.
A highlight of the fixture announcement is the addition of double headers at many of the venues, with the majority of the games in the backend of the summer to showcase a White Ferns match ahead of a Black Caps white-ball clash.
