The Tigers are now in Australia and attending a camp there to adjust to the weather conditions for their New Zealand tour. The Bangladesh cricket team now get more international media attention and it is a nice change. New Zealand are a strong team in their own backyard and they are the favourite; so the pressure will not be on the Tigers. They have to play their natural aggressive game so they are not intimidated by the home side. Many Bangladeshis live in New Zealand and I am sure, the Tigers will enjoy there a good crowd support. The Tigers will play three One Day, three Twenty-Twenty and two Test matches during their much-awaited NZ tour. In 2013, Bangladesh drew the two-Test series when New Zealand came to Bangladesh but the Tigers whitewashed them in the ODI series and lost the lone Twenty-Twenty match. I hope the Tigers will derive inspiration from their past performance.
