The Black Caps are currently saying pakistani will play a white ball series. They are not returning home anytime soon before November. Also they need to undergo quarantine probably till Christmas. Therefore, there will be no Boxing Day Test this year in New Zealand. After that, the T20 World Cup will take place and then the team will land in India.
