India A to Play Three Four-Day Matches in New Zealand Ahead of Test Series
India A will play three four-day matches against New Zealand A in Christchurch starting October 24 as preparation for India's two-Test series in New Zealand. These matches will run alongside the senior Indian team's white-ball tour, which includes five T20Is and five ODIs. The Test series will begin on November 19 in Wellington and conclude in Christchurch by December 1. The India A fixtures aim to provide red-ball match practice and acclimatization ahead of the Tests, complementing New Zealand's domestic Plunket Shield season.
