England will play New Zealand in two Test matches and five IT20s at the end of this year as part of a six-week tour, the ECB has announced.
The last England tour to New Zealand only came in 2018, when the visitors won a five-match ODI series 3-2 before losing the two-Test series to the Black Caps 1-0.
This year's tour kicks off with five T20 matches in the space of 10 days in Christchurch, Wellington, Nelson, Napier and Auckland, starting on November 1.
The two Tests take place on New Zealand's North Island, with two warm-up matches in Whangarei prior to red-ball matches at Mt Maunganui and Hamilton.
World Cup action takes centre stage at the moment, however, with England facing New Zealand at the Riverside in Chester-le-Street in their final group match on July 3.
