India A To Play Red-Ball Series In Christchurch

New Zealand A will host India A for three four-day matches in Christchurch and Lincoln, running from October 24 to November 10.

The red-ball fixtures will take place at Lincoln's Bert Sutcliffe Oval and Christchurch's Hagley Oval, operating alongside the BLACKCAPS’ white-ball series (five T20Is and five ODIs) against India.

The A-series provides crucial preparation for India's pathway players and red-ball specialists ahead of the senior team's two-match World Test Championship (WTC) series against New Zealand in late November. It also gives New Zealand's top domestic talent a prime opportunity to test themselves against India's emerging stars.

Spectators will be able to attend all three four-day matches with free entry, and live streaming will be available via New Zealand Cricket's YouTube channel.

India A vs New Zealand A Schedule:

• 1st Match: Oct 24–27 (Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Lincoln)

• 2nd Match: Oct 31–Nov 3 (Hagley Oval, Christchurch)

• 3rd Match: Nov 7–10 (Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Lincoln)
