India are set for a challenging tour of New Zealand, with the Men in Blue scheduled to play five T20Is, five ODIs and two Tests from October 22 to November 27, 2026.
Under Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, India will take on the Black Caps across all three formats. With the T20I squad yet to be announced, the ODI and Test squads feature several of our Gujarat Titans stars, who will be looking to make their mark on the international stage.
Good morning from the travelling TitaNZ 😎🇮🇳 https://t.co/DwSrFTGTcu
Our skipper Shubman Gill will captain India in the first three ODIs of the series, with our fellow Titans Gurnoor Brar, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna also named in the squad.
Gill will feature in the opening three matches before turning his attention to preparations for the Test series. Shreyas Iyer will take over the captaincy for the final two ODIs, while our very own Kumar Kushagra is set to make his international debut during the ODI leg of the tour.
It is an exciting opportunity for Kushagra to take the next step in his cricketing journey and we look forward to seeing our Titan don the India colours.
Gill to captain India in the Test series
Our captain will return to lead India in the two-match Test series against New Zealand. The squad also features our Titans Washington Sundar, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj and Sai Sudharsan.
With our Titans set to feature across the series, the New Zealand tour presents another opportunity for them to showcase their skills and contribute to India's campaign in challenging conditions.
All the best to our Titans as they gear up for the New Zealand challenge! Aava De!
