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 2000/01 season in New Zealand . The tour was originally planned for September and October 2001, but after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the USA , the New Zealand team stopped the journey while they were in Singapore. Initially, only the ODIs were canceled and the tests, which took place in October, were to take place, even if the stadium selection was changed due to the anticipated attacks by the USA in Afghanistan. Two weeks after the attacks, the tour was postponed to April 2002. The final termination took place in February 2002.
