New Zealand Cricket is confident of rescheduling the Black Caps' one-day and Twenty20 series against Australia to later this year.
The Black Caps' season ended early after the squad pulled out of the remaining Chappell-Hadlee Trophy one-dayers against Australia, following news of the New Zealand Government's new border restrictions to contain the coronavirus outbreak.
The restrictions include a mandatory 14-day self-isolation period for everyone entering New Zealand from Australia, meaning the three Twenty20s - scheduled for later this month - were unable to played as the mandatory self-isolation period would also apply to the Australian squad.
While the one-dayers could have gone ahead, completing the series would have significantly affected the players' personal lives on their return.
