Tigers reach New Zealand for limited over series

The Bangladesh national cricket team reached New Zealand today for a limited over series that included three ODIs and as many T20 Internationals.

The media department of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that the Tigers reached New Zealand at 2.45 PM as per New Zealand time.

The three ODIs that Bangladesh would play are the part of ICC ODI Super League, a tournament that would play a vital role in their aspiration to play the 2023 World Cup in India directly.

This is Bangladesh’s first foreign tour in the Covid-19 era and also their first tour to New Zealand since the Christchurch attack in a mosque in March 2019, where the Tigers narrowly escaped the mass shooting.

The tour was then abandoned as the Tigers returned home keeping the third and final Test of the series unfinished.

The 20 members of Bangladesh team however would be placed under strict quarantine after returning negative in Covid-19 test. They will stay quarantine for 14 days at the high performance center of Lincoln University.

From day eight, the cricketers will get the opportunity to begin fitness and skill training at limited scale. After completing the 14-day quarantine, the Tigers will have a five-day camp at Queenstown. The Tigers’ record against New Zealand is abysmal as they are yet to register any victory over the Kiwis on their den. Bangladesh played nine Tests, 13 ODIs and four T20 Internationals on New Zealand soil but failed to win any match.
