New Zealand are beginning 2023 with the continuation of their historic Pakistan tour as they will play one more Test and three more ODIs in this campaign.
Then, the Black Caps will travel to India for the white-ball series. Later, England will tour New Zealand for a Test series. After that, Sri Lanka will travel to New Zealand for a complete tour.
