IND vs NZ ODI 2026: Series schedule, squads and match timings
India begin the 50-over leg of their New Zealand tour at Eden Park on November 4, three days after the T20I series ended 3-2. India won the first three T20Is, but New Zealand hit back to win in Auckland by 87 runs and in Hamilton by seven wickets.
The ODIs bring back Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who now play only one format for India. In their last series, against West Indies, Rohit scored 225 runs in three matches, including 101 in the second ODI, and Kohli made an unbeaten 139 in the first.
India have picked split squads with the two Tests in mind. Shubman Gill captains the first three ODIs, with Shreyas Iyer leading in the last two, when Kumar Kushagra joins as a wicketkeeper. Jasprit Bumrah and Yashasvi Jaiswal are only in the Test squad.
Mitchell Santner leads New Zealand, who have also named two squads. Devon Conway, Matt Henry, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips and Rachin Ravindra play the first three ODIs before leaving to prepare for the first Test in Wellington, and Finn Allen returns for the last two.
