New Zealand Prepare For 'Strong' Bangladesh In First Test

New Zealand's captain Tim Southee said Monday he was looking forward to his side's Test series against Bangladesh, saying he hoped the Kiwis spinners would outwit their "strong" opponents. "The guys have a great desire for Test cricket," Southee said ahead of the opening match of the two-Test series in Bangladesh's northeastern city Sylhet on Tuesday. "They say it is the pinnacle of the game. Whenever we play Test cricket, it is always special. We love and prioritise Test cricket", he added. New Zealand won the title of the opening World Test Championship in 2021 but finished sixth in the next cycle, which ended in 2023 with Australia beating India in the final. The Kiwis have not won a Test in Bangladesh since their three-wicket win in Chittagong in 2008. Their next three Tests, including both matches in a 2013 series, ended in a draw. "The start of the new cycle is exciting," Southee added. "It is a tough place to play Tests. Bangladesh are strong in these conditions."
