New Zealand vs Bangladesh Test Series 2022: Full schedule, squads, match timings, telecast and live streaming details

New Zealand and Bangladesh will lock horns in the first game of a two-match Test series at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on Saturday, January 1, 2022.

World Test champions New Zealand have had a poor start to their World Test Championship 2021-23 campaign, though. They lost to India in a two-match Test series, losing by 372 runs in the second Test in Mumbai. However, against Bangladesh, who have a poor win record in New Zealand, the hosts would look to add some crucial WTC points to their kitty.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be without their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who pulled out of the Test series for personal reasons. New Zealand will be led by Tom Latham, as their regular captain Kane Williamson is out for two months due to an elbow injury.
