Fleming's men fly in today

SPORTS REPORTER
A 14-member New Zealand cricket team led by Stephen Fleming will arrive in Dhaka today to play two Tests and three one-day internationals.
The first full series for the Kiwis in Bangladesh will start with a three-day practice match against the BCB XI at the BKSP on October 14.
It will be the first meeting of the two unequal opponents after a gap of three years when Bangladesh played two Tests during their tour of New Zealand in December 2001. Test newcomers Bangladesh had suffered an innings defeat inside two days in both Tests but returned home without playing the three one-dayers.
Fleming will lead the Kiwis in the Test series but will return home to rest a long abdominal injury with leftarm spinner Daniel Vettori taking over for the three one-day internationals.
The first Test will start at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on October 19. The tourists will then fly
to Chittagong for the second Test starting on October 26. The port city will host the first one-day match on November 2 at the MA Aziz Stadium.
The teams will then return to the capital for the last two limited-over games to be played under lights at the Bangabandhu National Stadium on November 5 and 7.
KAPALI RELISHES
A RETURN
Meanwhile, Alok Kapali hopes to put behind his slump in form with a good performance against the tourists in the three-day opener at the country's lone sports institute in Savar.
The 20-year-old all-rounder will
lead the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) XI against Fleming's side in the only practice match before the first Test.
"It is going to be a very important match for all of us because the series comes after two disappointing one-day tournaments. It will be a big boost for everybody if we do well in the game ahead of the first Test," said Kapali yesterday adding that he would be aiming for a draw.
"New Zealand is very strong team even without all-rounder Chris Cairns who has retired from Test cricket and injured speedster Shane Bond. But as always batting is our main concern so our focus will be to getting runs from the top-order," he said.
"I'm confident that I will hit form. I have been working hard on improving my batting technique with team specialist Owen Mottau and coach Dav Whatmore. Both have told me to stop playing flicks early in the innings and instead concentrate on batting straight," said Kapali, whose last Test match was against England in Chittagong in October 2003.
