Live streaming, Bangladesh vs New Zealand Tests 2023 starts in Sylhet on November 28 - full schedule

The Bangladesh national cricket team will lock horns with New Zealand in a two-match Test series starting on Tuesday, November 28.

Hosts Bangladesh and New Zealand will begin their World Test Championship 2023-25 campaign with the upcoming Test series. 

As per the Bangladesh vs New Zealand Tests 2023 schedule, the first match will be played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet from November 28, while the second Test will be hosted at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka from December 6.

The two sides previously clashed in a three-match one-day international series before the recently-concluded ICC World Cup 2023.

While the first ODI was abandoned due to rain, New Zealand won the next two ODIs by 86 runs and seven wickets, respectively, to clinch the series 2-0.

Bangladesh have announced their 15-member Test squad to be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto.

Shanto has been named Bangladesh Test captain after Litton Das, who was captain for the only Test against Afghanistan in Dhaka in June, was granted paternity leave for a month. 

The hosts will miss the services of their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan due to a finger injury.

Top-order batter Shahadat Hossain Dipu, left-arm spinner Hasan Murad and young fast bowler Hasan Mahmud are the three uncapped players added in Bangladesh Test squad.

On the other hand, pacer Tim Southee will lead the New Zealand national cricket team in the upcoming two-match Test series.

The likes of Kane Williamson, Devon Conway, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra and Mitchell Santner will also feature in the Test series after helping the Kiwis reach the ICC World Cup 2023 semi-finals.
