The New Zealand national cricket team has arrived in Dhaka to play a white-ball series against Bangladesh. The 26-member squad landed in the capital late on April 13 and was taken directly to the team hotel under tight security. Most of the players traveled together, while three others joined later after completing duties with the New Zealand ‘A’ team in Sri Lanka. The group includes players, coaching staff, and team management members.
The One Day International (ODI) series will begin on April 17 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur, with the second ODI scheduled for April 20 at the same venue. The third and final ODI will take place in Chattogram on April 23. The T20 series will follow, starting with two matches on April 27 and 29 in Chattogram, before concluding with the final T20 on May 2 in Mirpur.
The arrival marks the start of another high-profile bilateral series on Bangladeshi soil, continuing the cricketing engagements between the two nations.
