Ben Lister has been called up to the New Zealand cricket team for their tour of Bangladesh, stepping in for the injured Kristian Clarke. Lister has recently made his mark in New Zealand's white-ball cricket, having played three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and one T20 International during the tour of India earlier this year. He last represented New Zealand in 2024 during a tour of Pakistan and is also part of the A squad currently in Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, fast bowler Ben Sears will miss the ODI matches of the Bangladesh tour as he has been signed as an overseas replacement for Rawalpindiz in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Although Sears will not be replaced in the ODI squad, he is expected to join the team for the T20I series, likely available from the second T20I match as Rawalpindiz struggles in the PSL, having lost their first four matches.
