June 3 (Reuters) - India ⁠will undertake the biggest-ever international cricket ⁠tour of New Zealand later this year, ‌playing two tests, five one-day internationals and five Twenty20 matches against the Black Caps.

• India will open the ​tour with the T20s in ⁠late October and ⁠early November quickly followed by the ODI series.

• ⁠The ‌first test takes place at Wellington's Basin Reserve from November 19 ⁠to 23. The second test will be ​at Christchurch's ‌Hagley Oval from November 27 to December ⁠1.

• "When it ​comes to cricket – it simply doesn't get bigger than India and we're determined to deliver ⁠New Zealanders a tour like ​no other," said New Zealand Cricket's Glenn Critchley. "We're expecting all of these games to sell ⁠out."

• After travelling to play four tests in Australia around the New Year, New Zealand will also host Sri Lanka in three ​ODIs, three T20s, and two ⁠tests in January and February, 2027.

• The ​White Ferns women's team will ‌host Bangladesh for three ​T20s and three ODIs in December.
