Busy times ahead for the Black Caps.  

They're preparing for their three-match ODI series against India, followed by the five-match T20 series that serves as ideal preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup. 

The squad features several new faces, including debutants Jaden Lennox and Christian Clarke, and is captained by Michael Bracewell. 

The first test is taking place at India's Kotambi Stadium – a 40,000 seat stadium that reportedly sold out within minutes of the game being announced. 

Bracewell told Piney it’s going to be a pretty exciting opportunity to play in front of 40,000 fans, and perhaps a new one for some of the guys in the squad.
