INDIA TOUR OF NEWZEALAND 2016

The New Zealand team is scheduled to tour India in September and October 2016 to play three Test matches and five One DayInternational (ODIs).

In April 2016, the BCCI announced the proposition of one of the Test matches being a day/night game. New Zealand team stated that "a number of factors were yet to be finalised before the match could be confirmed". In June 2016, the BCCI confirmed the fixtures for India's 2016/17 season, but there was no mention of a day/night Test. However, it was reported that a senior official of the Cricket Association of Bengal had confirmed that the Test match in  Kolkata would be a day/night game. At the end of June the dates of the matches were announced, with the BCCI stating that all the Tests will start at 9:30am local time.
