The Chappell-Hadlee trophy will be contested in a three-game ODI series in Australia in December this year.

The Black Caps will play Australia in Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne in early December to defend the trophy they claimed with a 2-1 series win earlier this year.

It is the first of two series against the Black caps on either side of the Tasman during the summer, with the two sides playing the return leg of three ODIs in New Zealand in early 2017.

Australia will kick off their home summer in Perth in November with a three-Test series against South Africa before a Test series that includes a day-night match against Pakistan.

Australia will also play Pakistan in a three-game ODI series and Sri Lanka in a three-game T20 series in February.

December 4 – Sydney
