New Zealand will tour Bangladesh for the primary time in 10 years after they journey for a cut up ODI and Test sequence in September and November.

The three-match ODI sequence would be the costume rehearsal for the 2 groups forward of the World Cup in India.

The World Cup begins with final version’s runner-up New Zealand taking up defending champion England in Ahmedabad in a repeat of the 2019 closing.

Bangladesh start its World Cup journey towards Afghanistan on October 7 in Dharamsala.

As per the itinerary unveiled by the Bangladesh Cricket Board on Thursday, the tour is ready to start on September 21. All three ODIs are scheduled to happen on the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

The Test sequence is scheduled to begin in late November following the conclusion of the World Cup. The venues for each Tests will likely be introduced later.

The second leg of the tour will likely be a part of the ICC World Test Championship cycle. The red-ball clashes will happen after the World Cup.

The Black Caps final toured the nation in 2013 for a full sequence. The two-match Test sequence was drawn, whereas Bangladesh secured a 3-0 win within the three-match ODI sequence. The Kiwis ended their tour, profitable the one-off T20I.
