In preparation for the West Indies tour of New Zealand beginning on November 27, the visitors will go up against the New Zealand A team in a practice match starting on Friday. This marks the West Indies cricket team's second international tour since the resumption of cricket worldwide. The Windies had their first tour against England in July where they played three Tests. The series ended 2-1 in favour of the hosts.
Their tour of New Zealand is more extensive and will consist of three T20Is and two Tests. With many players from the two teams returning from the recently concluded Dream11 IPL 2020 in the UAE, the rosters for this practice match will consist of mostly domestic players for the home side and many big names missing from the visiting team as well.
