NZ lined up for tri-series

New Zealand will break new cricketing ground in the Caribbean by being one of the first teams to play in a tri-series when it tours West Indies in 2000.

West Indies board chief executive Steve Comacho has announced that it will host New Zealand and Pakistan each in a three test-series, then a three-way one-day series during April-May.

Dates have yet to be finalised and New Zealand Cricket chief executive Chris Doig was awaiting official confirmation. ``We have talked about it and it sounds great, but West Indies have yet to tell us officially,'' said Doig.

New Zealand last toured West Indies in 1996, playing two tests and five one-day internationals.
