Tom Latham to lead New Zealand in white-ball matches against Bangladesh

Tom Latham will captain New Zealand for the three ODIs and three T20Is in Bangladesh in April with the tourists missing plenty of big names due to IPL commitments.

Fast bowling trio Matthew Fisher, Will O'Rourke and Blair Tickner will return to international cricket following spells on the sidelines with injuries.

"Will, Blair and Matt have been working very hard over the past few months to get themselves back on the park and back in contention for selection and we're pleased to welcome them back into the group," head coach Rob Walter said.

"With the amount of cricket being played in the modern game, having depth in our bowling stocks is key. Having players of this quality come back is great for our side."

Dean Foxcroft, a spinning allrounder, makes his way back into Black Caps' white-ball set-up for the first time since April 2024 after a superb season in domestic cricket.

New Zealand will arrive in Dhaka on April 13 and play the first two ODIs at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on April 17 and 20.

The teams will travel to Chattogram to play the third ODI on April 23. The teams will then play the T20Is starting with two matches on April 27 and 29 in Chattogram. They will return to Dhaka to play the last T20I on May 2.
