New Zealand and Australia will host England in a Twenty20 Tri-series next summer.
 
To be staged at the completion of the Ashes, each side will play each other twice in the round-robin stage, before the final is played at Eden Park on 21 February.
 
New Zealand will host three round-robin matches, facing England at Westpac Stadium and Seddon Park, and Australia at Eden Park.
 
Australia will also host three round-robin matches; one of them against the BLACKCAPS at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
 
The Tri-series will take the place of the Chappell-Hadlee series, with the trans-Tasman trophy to go back on the line the following season.

New Zealand Cricket Chief Executive David White said,

“

To host matches against both England and Australia is an exciting development for New Zealand cricket fans.
