Earlier comprising just ODIs, the trophy will now be awarded for all white-ball series between the trans-Tasman rivals
ESPNcricinfo staff19-Feb-2024The Chappell-Hadlee trophy, earlier awarded to the winner of bilateral ODI series between Australia and New Zealand, will now also be played for in T20I series between the trans-Tasman rivals, starting with the three-match contest beginning on Wednesday in Wellington.The change will also mean that when the two teams face off in back-to-back ODI and T20I series, there will be a points structure including both formats so as to prevent the trophy from changing hands within days.”It’s great that the trophy will have more visibility and profile. I like the new conditions too – especially in the event of back-to-back 20-over and 50-over series,” Sir Richard Hadlee was quoted as saying on behalf of his family in a release.Related

“It means all games will continue to be relevant, and that the trophy will remain on the line for a longer period – plenty to play for.”Greg Chappell said he was “pleased” with the decision to include bilateral T20I series under the Chappell-Hadlee trophy.”I am a great believer in promoting young players through the pathways and national system and it will be particularly pleasing to see some young Australian players competing with their Kiwi counterparts for the trophy in years to come,” he was quoted as saying.
