The Bangladesh cricket team toured New Zealand in January 2022 to play two Test matches.[1][2][3] The Test series formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.[4][5] In September 2021, the tour dates were moved back slightly due to COVID-19 quarantine requirements for travelling to New Zealand.[6][7] Initially the tour was also scheduled to include three Twenty20 International matches. However, these were dropped from the itinerary when the dates were confirmed by New Zealand Cricket in November 2021.[8]
Bangladesh won the first Test by eight wickets.[9] It was Bangladesh's first win in Test cricket against New Zealand,[10] and their first win in international cricket against New Zealand in New Zealand.[11] However, New Zealand went on to win the second Test inside three days,[12] beating Bangladesh by an innings and 117 runs, to draw the series 1–1.[13] It was also Ross Taylor's final Test match,[14] after he had announced his retirement from international cricket in December 2021.[15]
