Fast bowler Lockie Ferguson will lead New Zealand's one-day international team in the three-match series against Bangladesh later this month.

The series is seen as the preparation platform for the New Zealand ahead of the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup in India.

But the New Zealand decided to give their first choice players a break from the tour. Tom Latham who is leading the side in absence of Kane Williamson among others were rested, the New Zealand Cricket said in their official website.

Fast bowler Lockie Fargusen will lead the side. Devon Conway, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner and Tim Southee were also allowed a short period at home.

Trent Boult will feature along with Kyle Jamieson and Adam Milne. The spin bowling will be shared between Ish Sodhi, Rachin Ravindra and Cole McConchie.

Ferguson recently captained New Zealand in a T20 warm-up match against Worcestershire on the current tour of England.

"Lockie is an experienced bowler at the international level, and this is an opportunity for him to really lead from the front with not just the bowling group but the team as a whole," head coach Gary Stead said. "He stepped into the role for the warm-up matches in England and led a group with a lot of moving parts well.

Mark Chapman and Jimmy Neesham weren't considered for selection because of the birth of their first children.

The three ODIs will take place in Dhaka on September 21, 23 and 26. Earlier ahead of the 2021 T20 World Cup, New Zealand played five-match T20 series in Bangladesh and lost it by 3-2. But the preparation proved to be effective for them as they moved to the final of that World Cup before losing to eventual champions Australia.
