New Zealand tour of Bangladesh 2026

The New Zealand tour of Bangladesh 2026 runs from April 17 to May 2, featuring three ODIs and three T20Is across Dhaka and Chattogram. With regular white-ball skipper Mitchell Santner unavailable due to IPL 2026 commitments, Test captain Tom Latham leads a youthful Black Caps squad featuring returning pacers Matt Fisher, Will O'Rourke, and Blair Tickner from injury. Off-spinning all-rounder Dean Foxcroft also earns a recall to the white-ball setup.

Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz leads the hosts as they seek their third consecutive ODI series triumph after recent victories over the West Indies and Pakistan. The series is locked 1-1 heading into the final ODI after Bangladesh leveled with a six-wicket victory in the second game, powered by Nahid Rana's sensational five-wicket haul (5-32) and Tanzid Hasan's fiery half-century.
