Bangladesh will play two series against New Zealand next year. Bangladesh will play a Twenty20 International series against New Zealand and a One Day International series in New Zealand in February next year.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bangladesh Cricket Board Nizamuddin Chowdhury said, “We have an agreement with the New Zealand Cricket that we will confirm the series in the middle of next year. One of the four series that New Zealand Cricket has mentioned is our tour in New Zealand. It will be in February next year, that’s the plan. ”
New Zealand was due to be in Bangladesh in this year’s August-September for two-match Test series. Those two Tests were the part of ICC World Test Championship. On the other hand, as part of their preparation for the T20I World Cup in Australia, Bangladesh was also scheduled to visit New Zealand for a three-match T20I series.
Those two series were finally rescheduled, said BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury.
BCB CEO said, ” We postponed four series against Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Ireland. Outside of that there was one Test left, which is with Pakistan. Since it’s just one Test, we’ll need a short-term window. We hope to fix this in consultation with the Pakistan Cricket Board.”
He said, “We will try to make the Australia series at a convenient time. In fact, it would be possible if Australia will be available. So the series has to be confirmed within the stipulated time, and also the ICC has the stipulated time frame. We have also an ODI series against Ireland.”
