2017 -18 West Indies Tour of New Zealand to play 2 Tests;3 ODI's and 3 T20's from Dec 01,2017 To Jan 03,2018

The West Indies will embark on their 11th tour of New Zealand with a two-match Test series which kick starts in Wellington on 1st December 2017. 

On the previous 10 tours, the West Indies have played 27 Tests winning 7, losing 10 and 10 Tests ending in draws.

Out of the 10 Test series played in New Zealand, West Indies have triumphed in 3 series (their last series win being in 1994-1995), New Zealand have won 5 series with 2 series ending in draws.

West Indies last won a Test on New Zealand soil in February 1995. Since them having played 10 Tests in New Zealand, the West Indies have lost on 6 occasions with 4 Tests ending in a draw.

The New Zealand team is fresh after a long lay off. After the early exit in the Champions Trophy in June, 2017, the New Zealand team had a short ODI and a T20 series against India in October, 2017.

Although the series was not entirely fruitful, they had their moments. 

The New Zealand Test team will be raring to usher their new season by thumping their authority over an opposition whom they have enjoyed a lot of success recently.

Though the West Indies won a Test in England and Zimbabwe recently, they have a lot of catching up as far as Test cricket is concerned. 

The Test team is less settled as compared to their ODI and T 20 counterparts.

New Zealand are currently ranked 4th in the ICC Test rankings with West Indies languishing at number 8.
