The Pakistan cricket team arrived in New Zealand in December 2010 to play two Tests, three Twenty20s (T20) and six One Day Internationals (ODIs). Three tests were initially planned but as the 2011 Cricket World Cup is being held in February/April, one test was dropped and one ODI and the three T20s were added.
