Background
Originally the tour was scheduled to take place in January and February 2021.[6] On 28 May 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the series.[7][8] However, in September 2020, Cricket Australia were looking at moving the series wholly into February 2021, to avoid clashing with the end of the 2020–21 Big Bash League season.[9] Later the same month, the tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] On 19 January 2022, the tour was postponed due to uncertainty of the New Zealand players' quarantine requirements after they return back home.[11]
