The squad for the ODI series is set to be announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in the first week of January. Following the ODIs, India and New Zealand will face off in a five-match T20I series, the final assignment for the senior men’s team before the T20 World Cup.

With special concessions and an online-only ticketing model, the MPCA aims to ensure wider access to international cricket, offering students and specially-abled fans a rare opportunity to witness a high-profile ODI from the stands.
