New Zealand are set to touch down in Pakistan once again to play five ODIs and the same number of T20Is. This will be their second tour of the country in six months.

Their tour will start with a five-match T20I series on April 14 in Lahore. They will also play matches in Rawalpindi and Karachi.

The Blackcaps shared pictures of their squad from the Christchurch international airport ahead of their departure to Pakistan.

Experienced pace duo Tim Southee and Trent Boult will miss the Blackcaps’ limited-over tour due to their Indian Premier League commitments.

Former Pakistan head coach Saqlain Mushtaq will also be joining the visitors as team consultant for the tour.
