The series against England is the last on the schedule and the day-night Test will be played at Eden Park, although New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said it still needs approval from Auckland council.

New Zealand are hopeful of playing a day-night Test against England at Eden Park during their 2017-18 season.
The Black Caps were involved in the first and only day-night Test to date, losing to Australia in Adelaide a year ago.
The last time England toured New Zealand was in the year 2013, where the three-match series between the two sides ended in a 0-0 draw with no team scoring a victory in the three games.
New Zealand Cricket on Friday announced a busy worldwide schedule for the next two years, which will see Kane Williamson’s side hosting Pakistan and Bangladesh before touring Australia for three Chappell-Hadlee ODI matches starting from January 30 onwards.
In addition to England and Australia, the 2017-18 season will also feature visits from West Indies and Pakistan.
“While we can’t confirm it yet, it’s something were extremely interested in and working towards”, he said.
Early in 2017 will be the three-match ODI series against Australia for the Chappell-Hadlee trophy and February 2017 will see a full length tour by South Africa consisting of a T20I, five ODIs and three Tests.
Pakistan return for three T20s and five ODIs before three more Chappell-Hadlee matches in Wellington, Hamilton and Auckland.
New Zealand Cricket are keen to play a day/night test against England at Eden Park in the summer of 2017/18.
The West Indies will arrive in November for three tests, five ODIs and one T20I, before a clash in the shorter formats against Pakistan with three T20Is and five ODIs.
There will be 98 days of worldwide cricket in New Zealand over the next two seasons. Bangladesh then follows with the first of three ODIs to be played on Boxing Day in Christchurch, as well as three T20Is and two Tests.
