The first glimpse of post-Covid international cricket is here with Cricket Australia announcing the schedule for bilateral BLACKCAPS and WHITE FERNS trips across the Tasman next summer.

Australia will also host India, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe and the West Indies for bilateral visits in a full 2020/21 season.

"We know that circumstances or events beyond our control could mean that the final schedule potentially may look different to the one released today, but we'll be doing everything we can to get as much international cricket in as possible this summer," noted Cricket Australia CEO Kevin Roberts as he acknowledged the uncertain global environment that's been created by the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We will communicate any changes to the schedule if they are required."

On this side of the ditch, NZC will announce the New Zealand 2020/21 summer programme later this year, with CEO David White already having confirmed NZC is committed to a full season of Domestic cricket.
