The changes impact both the men\u2019s white-ball tour against New Zealand and the women\u2019s T20I series versus Sri Lanka, with the board saying the revised schedules are designed to make fuller use of daylight in day-night fixtures.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the BCB has shifted the timings<\/h2>\n<p>In its statement, the BCB said the forthcoming Bangladesh vs New Zealand ODI and T20I series has been rescheduled to align with the Bangladesh Government\u2019s energy-saving initiative. The board added that the updated timetable will be structured to maximise the use of daylight during the day-night matches.<\/p>\n<h2>Men\u2019s New Zealand tour schedule: ODIs and T20Is<\/h2>\n<p>The BCB confirmed that the match start times will be moved earlier by three hours for all three ODI matches in Dhaka and Chattogram. The objective is to complete the fixtures by sunset, which is estimated to be around 6:30 pm during this time of the year.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ODIs in Dhaka and Chattogram:<\/strong> all three ODIs will begin at <strong>11:00 am<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>T20Is in Bangladesh:<\/strong> the <strong>three T20Is<\/strong> will start at <strong>2:00 pm<\/strong> with the aim of finishing by <strong>5:30 pm<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change from original plan:<\/strong> the T20Is were previously set to start at <strong>6:00 pm<\/strong>, but the revised starts are earlier.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>New Zealand are scheduled to arrive in Bangladesh on <strong>April 13<\/strong> for a tour featuring <strong>three ODIs<\/strong> and <strong>three T20Is<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ODI 1:<\/strong> <strong>April 17<\/strong> at the <strong>Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ODI 2:<\/strong> <strong>April 20<\/strong> at the <strong>Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ODI 3:<\/strong> <strong>April 23<\/strong> at the <strong>Bir Shreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Cricket Stadium<\/strong> in <strong>Chattogram<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>T20I 1:<\/strong> <strong>April 27<\/strong> in <strong>Chattogram<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>T20I 2:<\/strong> <strong>April 29<\/strong> in <strong>Chattogram<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>T20I 3:<\/strong> <strong>May 2<\/strong> in <strong>Dhaka<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Women\u2019s series timing update vs Sri Lanka<\/h2>\n<p>The BCB also adjusted the women\u2019s T20I schedule against Sri Lanka.
