New Zealand are all set to host Bangladesh for a two-match Test series. The two Tests will be part of the 2023 World Test Championship. The first match of the Test series will be played from January 1 at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
New Zealand will be led by Tom Latham in the absence of Kane Williamson. After suffering a whitewash against India in India, they will be hoping for a change in fortunes at home. This will be Ross Taylor's last Test series and the veteran will be hoping to bid Adieu on a high. Ajaz Patel is a notable exclusion from the squad but they still have experienced players in the squad. The Kiwis will be looking to continue their home dominance and take an early lead in the series.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, have a tough task ahead of them. They faced New Zealand XI in a warm-up match ahead of the series which finished in a draw. Mominul Haque will be leading Bangladesh in the upcoming Test series and will want to lead the side by example. They've got some exciting players on their side and a cracking series awaits us.
