The New Zealand cricket team toured in July 2022 to play two Twenty20 International (T20I) matches and a single One Day International (ODI).[1] The matches were all played at The Grange Club in Edinburgh.[2] The fixtures in Scotland made up the third leg of New Zealand's tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland, following a Test series in England and limited overs fixtures in Ireland.[3]
New Zealand won the opening T20I match by 68 runs, after Finn Allen scored 101 runs.[4] New Zealand scored their highest team total in a T20I match in the second fixture, with 254/5, with them going on to win by 102 runs and take the series 2–0.[5] New Zealand won the one-off ODI match by seven wickets, with Mark Chapman scoring 101 not out.[6] It was Chapman's first ODI century for New Zealand, after he had previously scored one for Hong Kong in November 2015.[7]
The New Zealand cricket team was scheduled to tour Scotland in June 2020 to play a One Day International (ODI) match and a Twenty20 International (T20I) match.[8] [9] It would have been the first time since 2008 that the New Zealand team have toured Scotland.[10] New Zealand were also scheduled to tour Ireland in the same month to play three ODIs and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).[11] Originally scheduled to be a one-off ODI match, Cricket Scotland announced the addition of the T20I match in December 2019.[12] [13]
The COVID-19 pandemic put the tour in doubt.[14] In April 2020, David White, Chief Executive of New Zealand Cricket, said that the tour would be "most unlikely" to happen.[15] Later the same month, Gus Mackay, Chief Executive of Cricket Scotland, said that they were willing to host the matches behind closed doors if necessary.[16] However, the tour was postponed on 15 May 2020 as a result of the pandemic.[17] [18]
Adam Milne was ruled out of New Zealand's squad due to an Achilles injury with Jacob Duffy named as his replacement.[23]
