New Zealand Cricket has announced the itinerary for the home series against India.
The Indian cricket team would play two Twenty20 internationals, five one-day internationals and two Tests on their first tour of New Zealand in six years starting in February. The tour would last from February 20 to April 7, 2009.
India will arrive in New Zealand on February 20 and will begin the tour with a Twenty20 international match in Christchurch on February 25 and ends with the final Test, from April 3-7, at the Basin Reserve in Wellington.
The one-day series would precede the short Test rubber.
India had a torrid time on their last trip in December 2002-January 2003, losing the two-Test series 2-0 and the seven-ODI contest 5-2. The visit came in the build-up to the World Cup in South Africa, where the Indian team, under severe pressure initially, made it to the final. Cold and damp conditions resulted in favourable conditions for bowlers, with neither Test lasting five days, and teams batting first often getting bowled out cheaply in the ODI series.
The 1st Twenty20 International between India and New Zealand will be played on 25th February 2009 at AMI Stadium, Christchurch.

Dhoni: Past doesn't count
Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni refuses to bask in past glory and insists it will be a fresh start against New Zealand.
World champion in this slam-bang format, Dhoni's men have an edge over the hosts on paper but the Indian captain believes his teammates would have to start all over again.
"I believe every game is a new game," Dhoni said on the eve of the tour opener, adding "You have to start from scratch." Dhoni put tomorrow's match in perspective saying it would not set the tone for the remainder of the series.
"It is not like if you have won the first game it makes a huge difference for the entire tour. It is a 50-day tour and the team that will be victorious will be the one that plays good cricket for a consistent amount of time," Dhoni said.
"Seaming pitches could backfire"
Dhoni's team does not lack match-winners but the Indian captain said he wanted complete team effort where each and every player would chip in.
"Last year we did well as a team. The important thing is that we don't rely on one or two individuals. We have been performing as a team. In most games, you see that a lot of people have been contributing. Part-timers have done the job well with the ball. We have improved as a fielding unit as well, and that helps, too.
"We have the kind of players who can really win games on their own, but we are always looking for the whole team to perform. In theses conditions the batsmen could get out to a good ball and this is when you want the whole team to be at a level where each and everyone is performing. Whatever limited opportunity one gets, if he performs it helps the confidence of the whole team," said Dhoni.
