In Wellington, the Bangladesh cricket team is currently touring New Zealand, engaging in a series of Tests, ODIs, and T20s.
After the completion of the Test series, both teams are actively participating in the ODI series. Following this, Bangladesh’s tour of New Zealand will conclude with a three-match T20 series.
Kane Williamson captains the New Zealand team in the T20 series. Notably, Kane missed playing T20 matches since November 2022 due to a six-month injury sustained during the IPL’s 16th season.
