IPL 2023 – NewZEALAND Tour of Pakistan: Any kind of ROADBLOCK for the Indian Premier League Season 16th (IPL 2023) is out of the way from NewZealand’ side. Bowing to the growing pressure from Kiwi cricketers, New Zealand cricket (NZC) has kneeled in front of them. NZC has left the decision on players to chose between playing IPL 2023 or touring Pakistan next year. Follow IPL 2023 LIVE updates & NZ tour of Pakistan updates with InsideSport.IN
- NewZealand is scheduled to tour Pakistan in a split visit to play two Tests, eight ODIs, and five T20 Internationals.
- In December 2022 and January 2023, the Black Caps will play in two tests and three ODIs.
- In April of next year, the Kiwis will go back to Pakistan to play five T20 Internationals and as many ODIs.
- The 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) will, however, also be taking place at the same time.
- David White, CEO of New Zealand Cricket (NZC), said that players will be free to choose between the Pakistan tour and the Indian Premier League (IPL).
“As of our understanding, our full-strength side will go to Pakistan. I haven’t talked to players and their association further in this regard,” he said. “But, players will be allowed to play in IPL. They will be free to make a choice between IPL and Pakistan tour.”
