The cricket governing body of the UAE has confirmed that they are ready to welcome New Zealand for playing the T20I series in 2023. The UAE vs NZ T20 series 2023 comprises 3 T20I and are scheduled to be held from 17 – 20 August 2023. All the matches of the United Arab Emirates vs New Zealand T20 series will be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. The series will kick off with the first T20I on 17 August 2023 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai, then the second T20I will be played on 19 August in the same stadium, and then the series will conclude on 20 August with the last T20I.
Both teams faced each other last time in the ODI match during the 1996 World Cup. Most probably, Muhammad Waseem will be the skipper of the UAE T20 squad in the upcoming T20 series with the Kiwis. On the other hand, Kane Williamson is the current captain of the Kiwis T20 squad but they have not yet declared their final T20 lineup for the series. As of April 2023, UAE is sitting at the 13th position in the ICC T20 team ranking whereas New Zealand is in the 5th position.
