New Zealand vs Australia T20I Series 2024: Full schedule, squads, match timings and live streaming details

New Zealand Cricket will host Australia in a three-match T20I series, starting on February 21, Wednesday. Sky Stadium in Wellington will host the first T20I while Eden Park in Auckland will be the venue for the second and third T20Is.

Mitchell Santner will lead the Blackcaps with Josh Clarkson, Rachin Ravindra, and Trent Boult also part of the 14-member strong squad. This will be the first T20I for Boult since November 2022. He will be a part of the second and third T20Is with Tim Southee managing his workload.

Daryl Mitchell’s foot injury and Kane Williamson’s paternity leave meant uncapped powerful all-rounder Josh Clarkson gets a chance in the squad. Lockie Ferguson replaces Ben Sears and the remainder of the squad remains the same from the Pakistan T20I series in January 2024

Michael Bracewell, who injured his finger, and Jimmy Neesham, who is participating in the Bangladesh Premier League, were unavailable for selection.

On the other hand, Australia have announced a full-strength squad with Mitchell Marsh continuing to lead the side. After being rested for the WI T20I series, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Travis Head and Steve Smith are back in the squad.

Matt Short, who suffered a low-grade hamstring injury, will be monitored ahead of the T20I series before taking the field.
