Sylhet to host a test match after five years 0

While naming Dutch Bangla Bank as the title sponsor for the three-match ODI series between the two sides on Monday, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) also confirmed that Sylhet would host the first of the two-match Test series between host Bangladesh and New Zealand starting on November 28.

On December 6, Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium will host the second and final Test.

The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, which opened as the eighth Test venue in 2018 and saw Bangladesh lose the Test to Zimbabwe by 151 runs, will host a Test match after five years.

Before both sides go to India to compete in the ICC ODI World Cup, the New Zealand squad is now in Bangladesh to play in a three-match ODI series.

The first ODI is set for September 21, while the second and third games are slated for September 23 and 26, respectively. All three day-night ODIs will be held in Mirpur.
