The New Zealand national cricket team, known as the Black Caps, made their Test debut in 1930 against England in Christchurch, becoming the fifth nation to play Test cricket. After waiting 26 years for their first Test win against the West Indies in 1956, they also played their first ODI in 1972–73 against Pakistan. New Zealand are the inaugural World Test Championship champions (2021) and have won the ICC Champions Trophy (2000). They have reached the Cricket World Cup final twice and the T20 World Cup final once.

Please note the first three days of the second Test between the BLACKCAPS and England at the Cello Basin Reserve in Wellington, starting February 24, have been sold out.

While demand for the first Test at Mt Maunganui’s Bay Oval, starting February 16, has been at a similar level, the greater capacity at this venue means ticket sales for the opening Test have not yet been exhausted.

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said he was delighted with the level of interest in the series.

“The England team is always a great drawcard in New Zealand – they bring with them a fun-loving travelling supporters group, and reputation for playing exciting cricket,” said Mr White.

“Kiwi cricket fans love to watch them in action against the BLACKCAPS, and particularly now they’re coached by one of our former greats in Brendon McCullum.”
