The Australian cricket team is currently in New Zealand and a three-match T20 series is being played between the two teams from February 21 and then a two-match Test series. However, now big news is coming that whichever of the two teams won the ODI series was considered the winner of the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy.

But now according to the latest media reports, T20 series matches have also been included in it. After this, after winning the ODI series, this trophy will be given only to the team that wins the T20 series, but for this, just winning the series will not be enough, rather the points obtained after winning the match will be important. The team which has the most points after the limited overs series will win the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy.

On the other hand, regarding the introduction of the new points system in the trophy, former New Zealand cricket team cricket legend Sir Richard Hadlee said while quoting ESPN Cricinfo – It is great to see that the trophy will now have more transparency and profile. I like new things, especially during back-to-back 50 and 20 over series. After this the matches will become more relevant. The trophy will be at stake for a long time and there is a lot to play for in the series.

So Australian legend Greg Chappell said – I am a big believer in promoting young players through the pathways and the national system and it will be especially exciting to see some young Australian players competing with the Kiwis for trophies in the coming years. Would be nicer than.
