The New Zealand cricket team toured Bangladesh in September 2023 to play three One Day International (ODI) matches. The matches were used as preparation for both teams ahead of the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Following the World Cup, the New Zealand team returned in November 2023 to play two Test matches. The Test series formed part of 2023–2025 ICC World Test Championship. The International Cricket Council (ICC) finalized the bilateral series in a press release.
Initially, New Zealand was scheduled to play a two-day practice match in Sylhet before the test series. However, after a prolonged World Cup campaign, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) requested to cancel the practice match, to avoid tiredness of the players.
