English cricket team in New Zealand in 1991–92

The England national cricket team toured New Zealand in January to mid-February 1992 and played a three-match Test series against the New Zealand national cricket team. England won the series 2–0 with one match drawn. The concurrent three-match ODI series was won 3-0 by England. The tour immediately preceded the 1992 World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand where New Zealand did surprisingly well due to a series of innovations under captain Martin Crowe.^[1]
