Keeping in mind the spin condition for the Test series against Bangladesh, New Zealand have announced a spin-heavy squad. Pacer Trent Boult is not in this series.

Kiwis will come to Bangladesh to play two Test matches against Bangladesh after the World Cup. Spin all-rounder Michael Bracewell has been ruled out of the Test series squad due to injury. However, due to good performance in the ongoing World Cup, Glenn Phillips got a chance in the Test team.

Phillips has brought the team wickets at important times in several matches in the World Cup. Basically, the New Zealand Cricket Board announced the team keeping in mind the condition of Bangladesh. That is why spin is emphasized.

Rachin Ravindra, Ish Sodhi, and Ajaz Patel have been named in the spin attack. However, pacer Trent Boult was not kept in the Test squad. Originally he did not show interest in selecting himself for this series.

Kyle Jamieson returned to the Test squad after surgery in February. The first Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand will be held on November 28 in Sylhet. The second Test of the series will be held in Mirpur on December 6.

New Zealand Test Squad: Tim Southee (c), Kane Williamson, Tom Blundell (wk), Devon Conway, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Ajaz Patel, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Will Young.
