"It is a proud moment for Bangladesh – Walton will sponsor an international tournament. We are with cricket and will always be," Uday said. "Walton has been sponsoring almost all major domestic cricket events in Bangladesh for a long time."

The first match of the Bangladesh-New Zealand series will start at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui Saturday.

The second match will be hosted at Hagley Oval in Christchurch from January 9.

Gazi TV and T Sports will telecast the matches live.

The Bangladesh team is now staying in New Zealand and taking to the field after ending their home quarantine period.
