prehistory
It was the first tour of the season for both teams. The last meeting of the two teams on a tour took place in the 1999/2000 season in New Zealand . After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the USA , the previously planned tour of New Zealand against Pakistan was canceled for security reasons. New Zealand was therefore aiming for more games in Australia, which Australia also promised after the final cancellation of the tour in Pakistan.
