New Zealand is up 2-1 in their ODI series vs West Indies as Jayden Lennox continues to excel in his first year of Blackcaps cricket.
New Zealand's Blackcaps move into ODI mode to start their tour of the West Indies where they will add to their 21 players used across six ODIs this year.
New Zealand had another Test series win overseas and have quietly had a fabulous first half of 2026 with an ODI series win in India followed by making the final of the T20 World Cup.
The strange 2026 T20 World Cup came to an end for New Zealand's White Ferns as they were hammered by England in their last group stage game.
There won't be any drastic changes to the New Zealand Test cricket team's batting line up any time soon but there is a cluster of emerging batters working towards Test debuts.
New Zealand bounced back to win the second Test against England and with the third Test starting on Thursday evening Aotearoa time, we have five hot pockets to ponder.
New Zealand's loss to England in the first Test featured a dodgy pitch and the continuation of some grand trends for the Blackcaps.
New Zealand handled their business in the Test vs Ireland in another flex of Aotearoa's cricketing depth and are now boosted by the return of Mitchell Santner for the Test series vs England.
There are some clear holes in the White Ferns T20I team ahead of the T20 World Cup and they decided to embrace all of them for the series decider against England, which they lost.
The White Ferns continue their impressive start to the Melie Kerr era with a 1-1 ODI series draw against England falling into their 6-2 record this year.
New Zealand have named their Test squads to tour Ireland and England with 19 players selected across both series, which is aligned with the 21 players who have played Test cricket for Aotearoa since the start of 2025.
White Ferns continue to build out their development pipeline with another New Zealand A tour and after the tour of England last year, the NZ-A women's team will get some much needed experience in Asian conditions with a tour of Sri Lanka.
New Zealand's tour of Bangladesh didn't produce ODI or T20I series wins but the Blackcaps won a game in both series and there were a bunch of notable performances within the almost 20 players used on tour.
New Zealand's White Ferns start their tour of England next week with one-dayer to warm up and then three ODIs.
New Zealand A didn't win a game in Sri Lanka and a loss in the second First-Class game saw their undefeated streak in the long format come to an end.
After winning the first ODI in Bangladesh, New Zealand couldn't seal an upset series win with two losses in the next two games.
Blackcaps continue to churn through new emerging talent in all three formats and the incredible depth in New Zealand cricket is once again on show in the 10 Best Young Cricketers deep dive, as well as those who aren't on the list.
White Ferns have been refreshed by emerging cricketers in the last two summers and there are plenty more on the rise in a domestic scene that continues to blossom.
The opening stanza of the Melie Kerr era for White Ferns continues to dazzle with New Zealand adding an ODI series win vs South Africa to their 4-1 T20I series win.
The Blackcaps will once again flex their depth for the upcoming tour of Bangladesh where they will play three ODIs and three T20Is.
