New Zealand Tour of Bangladesh 2026: Full Schedule, Squads, Dates, Timings & Venues

After losing the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 and playing a home series against South Africa, New Zealand will now tour Bangladesh. They will play three ODIs and three T20 matches there.
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 is happening during the IPL and PSL, so some New Zealand players will be busy in those leagues and won’t be available for this tour.
New Zealand will be led by Tom Latham because their regular captain Mitchell Santner is busy playing for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026. Bangladesh will be captained by Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the first two ODIs.
In their last meeting at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, New Zealand beat Bangladesh by 5 wickets with 23 balls left. With the series starting soon, here are all the important details.
