COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on the Blackcaps' international schedule, with their August/September visit to Bangladesh now postponed.
The NZ men's cricket team were supposed to tour the Asian nation for two fixtures, as part of the international test championship, but the pandemic has forced the hosts to delay the encounters.
Cricket has been suspended in Bangladesh since mid-March, with more than 100,000 cases of coronavirus and 1500 deaths reported.
"In the present COVID-19 pandemic scenario, hosting a full cricket series in August 2020 will be a challenge in terms of preparations," says Bangladesh Cricket Board chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury.
"We cannot take chances with the safety and health of the players, support staff and related stakeholders.
"Under these circumstances, the BCB and NZ Cricket have felt that the best way forward would be to defer the series. We realise this will be hugely disappointing for the players and officials of both teams, not to mention the fans of the two nations, but I must thank NZC for its understanding and for recognising the rationale behind such a decision."
The Blackcaps were midway through the Chappell-Hadlee one-day series against Australia, when the oncoming pandemic forced them back home before borders closed.
Since then, they have also seen tours to Europe - Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland - and the West Indies postponed.
Bangladesh have now had four series called off - a test against Pakistan in April, tour of UK and Ireland in May, and a visit from Australia in June.
Cricket is battling to get its international schedule back on track, even as most of the world still struggles to contain the coronavirus.
Ten players and a staff member have tested positive on the eve of Pakistan's department for England, putting that series in doubt, while the international body must soon make a decision on staging its men's T20 World Cup in Australia in October/November.
