The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) thanked New Zealand Cricket (NZC) for revising the itinerary of the national team's tour in New Zealand.

The BCB said it would help Bangladesh to take better preparation as they will depart for New Zealand later this month to play three ODIs and three T20 internationals.

The BCB and New Zealand Cricket (NZC) have worked closely to finalise a schedule that would provide the best preparation for the visiting side considering the various challenges and restrictions posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We have been discussing the Bangladesh team's training scopes in New Zealand with NZC as it had become a matter of priority during the pandemic," BCB CEO Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said.

"We really appreciate NZC's views on the need for international touring sides to have adequate preparation for adjusting to the conditions and the changes in the itinerary are reflective of that. After the mandatory quarantine on reaching the country, there will be a five-day training camp in Queenstown which should be very beneficial for the team in regards to acclimatising."
