Following a recent home series against South Africa after their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 defeat, the New Zealand men’s team is scheduled to tour Bangladesh for a white-ball series, comprising three ODIs and as many T20Is. The tour will kick-start with the three-match ODI series from April 17, followed by the three T20Is, which will be played from April 27 till May 2.
The series comes in between the ongoing IPL and PSL. As a result, the New Zealand squad will miss out on a few key players. The Kiwis will be led by Tom Latham, with their regular captain Mitchell Santner unavailable due to his commitments with the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026. The home side will be captained by Mehidy Hassan Miraz in the first two ODIs.
Speaking of their recent outing during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, New Zealand defeated the Bangla Tigers by 5 wickets with 23 balls to spare. With the series only a few days away, in this article, we have compiled all relevant details.
