New Zealand Cricket banks ANZ extension

Australasian banking group ANZ has announced a three-year extension to its commercial agreement with New Zealand Cricket.

Under the terms of the deal, ANZ continues as a major sponsor and the official bank of New Zealand Cricket, with the agreement also including title sponsorship of international series played in the country.

The New Zealand national team’s association with ANZ has run for 15 seasons, and it will also renew its work to encourage cricket participation at all levels through the ANZ Grant Scheme and its anzcricketworld.co.nz website.

To mark the 15th anniversary of the sponsorship, ANZ is running a Top 15 Home Series Moments promotion through its Facebook page and specialist sports broadcaster Radio Sport.

New Zealand has no home series planned before it co-hosts the 2015 World Cup with Australia next February and March.
