India set for bumper New Zealand tour later this year

India will undertake the biggest-ever international cricket tour of New Zealand later ​this year, playing two tests, five ‌one-day internationals and five Twenty20 matches against the Black Caps.

India will open the tour with ​the T20s in late October and ​early November quickly followed by the ⁠ODI series.

The first test takes place ​at Wellington’s Basin Reserve from November 19 ​to 23. The second test will be at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval from November 27 to December ​1.

“When it comes to cricket – it ​simply doesn’t get bigger than India and we’re determined ‌to ⁠deliver New Zealanders a tour like no other,” said New Zealand Cricket’s Glenn Critchley. “We’re expecting all of these games to ​sell out.”
