New Zealand, who last visited India for bilateral matches in 2021, will feature in a three-match Test series starting on October 16, extending until the first week of November. The series kicks off on October 16 in Bengaluru, followed by matches in Pune and Mumbai.

Following the conclusion of the series against the Black Caps, India are slated to journey to Australia for a highly anticipated five-match Test series.
