New Zealand will be back to playing international cricket with a T20I series against the West Indies in November as the country’s board announced a packed home schedule on Tuesday.

The much-anticipated schedule will start with the arrival of the West Indies and Pakistan, followed by Australia in February and Bangladesh in March.

A three-match T20I series against the West Indies will start from November 27 at Eden Park. New Zealand will then host two Tests against the Windies, from December 3 and December 11 respectively.

The series will be followed by fixtures against Pakistan.

A T20I series against Australia has also been scheduled from February.
