New Zealand tour of Bangladesh (2026) - [3 ODIs and 3 T20Is]

[Cricket Warrior]

The fast-bowling group return to international contention after injury layoffs during the home summer. O’Rourke has been selected for the ODI series, Fisher returns in the T20I setup, while Tickner features in both squads.

In the absence of regular white-ball skipper Mitchell Santner, Test captain Tom Latham will lead both squads on the tour.

Off-spinning all-rounder Dean Foxcroft also earns a recall to the white-ball setup, returning to the national side for the first time since his last T20I appearance in April 2024 after an impressive domestic run.
