WELLINGTON, NewZealand (AP):

THE WEST Indies will play two Tests, two Twenty20 matches and five limited-overs internationals during tour of New Zealand in December and January.

Itineraries for the West Indies matches and India's tour to New Zealand in March were released by New Zealand Cricket yesterday.

The West Indies will play a three-day warm-up match against Auckland province before Tests against New Zealand at Dunedin from December 11 and Napier from December 19.

Twenty20 internationals are scheduled for Auckland on December 26 and Hamilton on December 28, followed by limited-overs matches at Queenstown, Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland and Napier between December 31 and January 13.

India, the world Twenty20 champion, will open its tour with a Twenty20 international at Wellington on March 6 before meeting New Zealand in limited-overs internationals at Napier, Hamilton, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Differing styles

India will play a three-day match against a New Zealand XI in Christchurch before Tests at Hamilton from March 26 and Wellington from April 3.

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori said he was looking forward to playing teams with differing styles.
