Team India, who made a clean sweep of 3-0 in the T20 series, is all set to take on New Zealand in a two-match Test series at home from Thursday, November 25. India and New Zealand matches will be played at Green Park, Kanpur. The game is scheduled to start at 9.30 am IST.
The Black Caps are the world test champions. The team had rested some key players in the T20I series and will be included in the squad for a possible fresh start. While New Zealand have been impressive in all three formats recently, they have a disappointing record on Indian soil. The Kiwis have not won their last two Test series in India (2012 and 2016) and they will look to improve that record this time around.
Team India is a formidable Test match organization and has been dominant in the longest format in home conditions. The hosts will be eager to avenge their 2-0 whitewash during the tour of New Zealand and the World Test Championship final defeat. The team will be led by Test veteran Ajinkya Rahane as the regular captain. Virat Kohli Rest has been given for the first test.
