World Test champions New Zealand will begin the home summer on New Year’s Day against Bangladesh with the first of the two-match Test series at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. They have won every Test match at home against Bangladesh till date.
In the absence of Shakib al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh will rely on Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz to punch above their weight. Taskin Ahmed, who has taken 11 wickets in three Test matches in the ongoing World Test Championship 2021-23, will be in focus as well.
New Zealand, on the other hand, will miss their regular captain Kane Williamson, who is recovering from a troublesome elbow injury. Tom Latham will lead the side. However, all limelight will be on Ross Taylor, who has confirmed this will be the final Test series in his career.
