The Australian cricket team toured New Zealand in January and February 2017 to play three One Day Internationals (ODIs).[1][2]

Australia's captain Steve Smith was ruled out of series after suffering an ankle injury in the final ODI against Pakistan.[3] Matthew Wade was named as Australia's captain in Smith's place and Sam Heazlett was added to the squad as Smith's replacement.[4] However, Wade was ruled out of the first match with a back complaint and Aaron Finch took over as captain.[5] Before the second ODI, Wade was ruled out of series due to back injury and Finch continued to captain in the remaining matches.[6]
