Australian cricket team in New Zealand in 2015–16
The Australian cricket team are currently touring New Zealand from 3 to 24 February 2016. Originally the tour was going to consist of three Test matches.[1] In June 2015, New Zealand Cricket were in talks with Cricket Australia to have a tour consisting of two Tests and three One Day Internationals (ODIs).[1] In August 2015, the fixtures were announced which contained the reduction of Tests from three to two and the addition of the three ODIs.[2]
In December 2015 New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum announced that he would be retiring from all forms of international cricket at the conclusion of this series.[3] New Zealand won the ODI series 2–1 to win the Chappell–Hadlee Trophy. McCullum finished his ODI career with the best win-loss ratio of any New Zealander who has captained in ten or more matches.[4]

He was replaced by Marcus Stoinis.[10] Kane Richardson was ruled out of the last two ODIs due to a back injury.
