Where is the night side of the ITCZ during Northern Summer?

TL;DR Summary

The ITCZ which is where the hot air rises in the hadley cells usually near the equator stretches all around the planet. Where is it's night time position on the flip side of the planet from the reference of where the sun is currently hitting the Earth?

In youtube channels and google images it shows the ITCZ as a band that stretches all around the equator, however the Earth is on a 23 degree tilt so in a northern summer the sun should hit the Earth at roughly the tropic of Cancer at 23 degree north of the Equator. This is where the ITCZ will be in at noon on the day side. But where will this band stretch to (East/West)180 degree on the opposite side of the planet? Will it be the size of the Equator and be on the southern side of the equator at midnight zone? Or will it be the same size as the Tropic of Cancer and mirror it so that it is actually further north of where the sun hits the Earth on the night side?

Please look at image below, will the ITCZ wrap around the Earth along the Ecliptic or the Tropic of Cancer?

If by ITCZ you mean the “Intertropical Convergence Zone”, then I would expect it to remain roughly parallel to the equator, but to move north or south according the the seasonal thermal balance.
It is too big a flow to be modulated in amplitude or latitude by the night-day cycle.

So it will be roughly matching tropic of cancer in northern summer?

Yes, but look at the maps in the wikipedia article to see the amount of wander in latitude that results from the position of continents and oceans.

This shows real time jet streams at 30,000 feet. The tropical calm between the north and south subtropical jets shows the range of the convergence zone. The date and time can be controlled.

So the ITCV fluctuates between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn, as it approaches toward one and away from the other does it scale down and squash down in size the hadley, polar and Ferrel cells it approaches and stretch out the ones it retreats from so they stay between the poles and the ITCV?

For example, northern summer the cells all get squashed up and shrink while the southern winter cells enlarge?

ITCV ?

ITCZ, typo.
