NEW DELHI: New Zealand are gearing up for their ICC World Test Championship campaign in Bangladesh, drawing inspiration from their recent stint at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in India. Despite a semifinal exit in the 50-over tournament, the Black Caps are eager to refocus on Test cricket as they commence a two-match Test series against Bangladesh, starting in Sylhet on Tuesday.
The upcoming series marks New Zealand's initiation into the current World Test Championship cycle, and key batter Daryl Mitchell is emphasising a strong start. The Kiwis aim to qualify for the final, having secured victory in the inaugural final in 2021.
