It will be India's first Test tour of New Zealand since the 2019-20 season. Since then, New Zealand have visited India twice, including their remarkable 2024-25 tour when they shocked the hosts with a 3-0 Test series victory.

The tour is part of a wider programme celebrating a century of sporting connections between the two nations. The New Zealand Government is supporting the initiative, along with several other India-related sporting events scheduled throughout the year.
