West Indies in New Zealand
After New Zealand's short tour of Australia, they head back across the Tasman to host West Indies who recently overtook them to take 7th place in the test standings. The tour is a rather short one, a tad over five weeks in duration. Once again, this is another tour with only two tests and is packed with plenty of one-day cricket.
