New Zealand Cricket revealed its upcoming home season, packed with international matches. A full series against India lights up the calendar, bringing Tests, ODIs, and T20s into play. Alongside it, the men\u2019s team from Sri Lanka arrives for their tour. The women\u2019s squad from Bangladesh also makes a stop, adding depth to the lineup. Action spreads across formats, keeping grounds busy through summer.<\/p>\n
Twelve games await as India tours New Zealand in a massive stretch of cricket that stretches from October into early December. This trip marks the biggest home series ever hosted by New Zealand when counting match numbers. Two Test battles open things up, followed by five one-day contests instead of more traditional fixtures. Alongside those come an equal count of T20 clashes, matching the ODI tally exactly. Each format gets its share under changing skies and shifting ground conditions.<\/p>\n
What time does the tour start?
Starting October 22 in Christchurch, five T20I matches unfold \u2013 next ones set for the 24th, 27th, 30th, plus November 1. November brings six ODI fixtures; first lands on the 4th, then continuing on the 7th, 10th, 13th, and wrapping the 15th. Test cricket begins November 19, runs through the 23rd, while the follow-up match stretches from the 27th to December 1.<\/p>\n
