High Performance Manager Simon Smith said: "We look forward to welcoming New Zealand’s men to Scotland for the first time since 1999.

“There is a close bond between our nations, and the clash in Dunedin during the 2015 Cricket World Cup was a special occasion marked fittingly by a closely-fought contest played in typically good spirit.

“Having conquered the world number one team in 2018, this will be an excellent opportunity for our men to knock over the finalist from the last two Cricket World Cups and earn yet another win over an ICC Full Member.”

Scotland and the Black Caps have met on three separate occasions in One Day Internationals, and once in a T20 clash, with New Zealand winning all four matches.
