Christchurch's Hagley Oval is poised
to host New Zealand's first Boxing Day Test in more than a decade, and the
first ever in the South Island, in the ANZ International Series 2014-15. 
 
Starved of international cricket since the 2011 earthquake, Christchurch makes
a return to New Zealand Cricket's international programme this summer, with
Hagley Oval being awarded both the Boxing Day Test against Sri Lanka and the
opening One Day International against the same opponents. 
 
Hagley Oval will later host the opening match of the ICC Cricket World Cup
2015, also against Sri Lanka. 
 
Another highlight of the ANZ International Series 2014-15 is confirmation of
Tauranga's Bay Oval as the country's newest international arena. 
 
NZC Head Of Cricket Lindsay Crocker said he was delighted to announce the
return of international cricket to Canterbury, and to confirm Hagley Oval as
the country's eighth Test venue. 
 
NZC opted to schedule the Test matches in the holiday period this summer, in
order to allow the Blackcaps an uninterrupted run of ODIs ahead of World Cup
2015. 
 
The Blackcaps will test themselves against three strong ODI sides at home this
summer, as first South Africa, and then Sri Lanka and Pakistan visit. 
 
Between the South African and Sri Lankan series they will travel to the United
Arab Emirates to play Pakistan in three Tests, five ODIs and a Twenty20. 
 
The ANZ International Series kicks off on 21 October 2014 at Bay Oval against
South Africa. Ticketing information for all matches will be available on
Blackcaps.co.nz in the coming months.
