New Zealand Cricket wishes to advise of a change to the upcoming tour schedules for the Bangladesh men and Australia women’s teams, caused by ongoing challenges in the current COVID-19 environment and the need to allow visiting sides adequate preparation for international commitments.
To accommodate the necessary logistics, the Bangladesh tour will now begin seven days later than initially scheduled, following a five-day training camp at Queenstown, with matches to be played at the venues first planned, but on different dates.
Additionally, with Bangladesh remaining in New Zealand longer than originally scheduled, NZC has taken the opportunity to play the three WHITE FERNS v Australia women’s T20s as double-headers alongside the BLACKCAPS v Bangladesh T20s – at Seddon Park, McLean Park and Eden Park, respectively.
Patrons who have already purchased tickets for games on which dates or venues have been changed have been notified of the amendments and their options, including full refunds if desired.

The New Zealand national cricket team, known as the Black Caps, made their Test debut in 1930 against England in Christchurch, becoming the fifth nation to play Test cricket. After waiting 26 years for their first Test win against the West Indies in 1956, they also played their first ODI in 1972–73 against Pakistan. New Zealand are the inaugural World Test Championship champions (2021) and have won the ICC Champions Trophy (2000). They have reached the Cricket World Cup final twice and the T20 World Cup final once.
