New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham has decided to continue playing in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) for Rajshahi Warriors, opting to skip his national team's T20 International series against India.

New Zealand are scheduled to play a five-match T20I series in India.

The first T20I between New Zealand and India will be played on January 21, while the BPL final is set for January 23.

However, Neesham has already spoken to New Zealand Cricket (NZC) and obtained a no-objection certificate (NOC) that allows him to remain in the BPL until January 23. �"BSS
