The New Zealand cricket team arrived in Dhaka on Tuesday to take part in a five-match Twenty20 International series against the hosts Bangladesh.

The event is scheduled to start on September 1 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium (SBNS) in the city.

The 20-member team arrived in Dhaka through a Singapore Airlines flight at 12:05pm and join two of their teammates, Finn Allen and Colin de Grandhomme who arrived on August 20 from England, in the team hotel.

New Zealand Cricket has sent a new-look T20I side for the series against Bangladesh as they didn’t keep any of their ICC World T20 squad members during the tour in Bangladesh as well as in their following tour in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, the Bangladesh squad for the series against New Zealand entered the bio-bubble today alongside the members of the New Zealand contingent.

The matches of the series will take place on September 1, 3, 5, 8 and 10 respectively at the SBNS.
