Bangladeshi cricket team in New Zealand in 2021–22

The Bangladesh cricket team are scheduled to tour New Zealand in January 2022 to play two Test matches.[1][2][3] The Test series will form part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.[4][5] In September 2021, the tour dates were moved back slightly due to COVID-19 quarantine requirements for travelling to New Zealand.[6][7] Initially the tour was also scheduled to include three Twenty20 International matches. However, these were dropped from the itinerary when the dates were confirmed by New Zealand Cricket in November 2021.[8]
