The Black Caps know the next opportunity to win a white-ball World Cup will come along quickly but are frustrated they've let another slip

9 March 2026

It's now five in the last 11 years the Black Caps have reached the big dance but been unable to hoist the silverware.

Captain Mitchell Santner says there's a 50-over World Cup next year in South Africa and then a T20 World Cup on home soil the year after.

Before all of that, the Black Caps return home for a five-match T20 series against South Africa starting Sunday.
