Just 10 days after the series against the team from Down Under, their Trans-Tasmanian neighbors New Zealand, who had visited India last year too for Tests and ODI series, will visit the Indian subcontinent for three ODIs and as many T20Is.

The series against New Zealand will be followed by a full-fledged series against Sri Lanka. The series will start with three Tests with the series-opener to be played at Kolkata from November 15 before the teams move to Delhi and Nagpur for the remaining two Tests.
The three-match series will be followed by three-match ODI and three-match T20 series.
