NZ Youth Squad Faces Bangladesh Tigers on April 17
16 Apr
Summary
- New Zealand's white-ball tour of Bangladesh starts April 17.
- Bangladesh holds a confident home advantage in familiar conditions.
- New Zealand fields an inexperienced squad with emerging talents.

New Zealand's white-ball tour of Bangladesh is set to begin on April 17, with the first of three One Day Internationals taking place in Mirpur. The series, which also includes three T20 Internationals, pits a confident Bangladeshi side against a relatively inexperienced New Zealand squad. Bangladesh, under the leadership of Mehidy Hasan Miraz for the ODIs, will aim to capitalize on familiar, sluggish pitch conditions.
Captain Tom Latham leads a Black Caps team that has rested several senior players to provide opportunities for emerging talents such as Will O'Rourke and Muhammad Abbas. While New Zealand has a strong historical record against Bangladesh in ODIs, this young touring party faces a significant challenge adapting to subcontinental playing conditions and a determined home team.
