West Indies tour of New Zealand, 2025
The West Indies cricket team will embark on a full tour of New Zealand in 2025, featuring a three-match Test series, five ODIs and three T20Is. New Zealand will host the West Indies at Basin Reserve, Hagley Oval, and Arthur Wills, exploiting the early-spring pitches that traditionally favour spin and offer a challenging environment for the West Indies' pace attack. The series will see New Zealand select a tall, spin-heavy attack led by Josh Hazlewood and Grant Elliott, while the West Indies will rely on the dynamic all-rounder Shai Hope and the veteran fast bowler Sham Lionel. Media coverage will be extensive, with Sky Sport and ESPNcricinfo providing live commentary and analytics. The tour will act as a decisive audition for both teams ahead of the 2025 ICC World Cup, intensifying rivalry and showcasing emerging talents in the region.
