The tour carries added significance as it will mark India's return to Test cricket in New Zealand for the first time since 2019. It will also be India's first white-ball assignment in the country since 2022.
The series is expected to be one of the biggest highlights of New Zealand's home summer, which also features a busy calendar for both the men's and women's teams. Apart from the cricketing rivalry, the tour will coincide with celebrations marking 100 years of sporting ties between India and New Zealand.
