The Indian cricket team has embarked on a very important overseas series Down Under against New Zealand. The Kiwis, as they are popularly called because of their flightless national bird, are a difficult side to beat at home.
Once again, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have faltered with their tour scheduling. The Indian team having just beaten the strong Australian side in a three-match ODI series 2-1, were flown the very next day to New Zealand. Quite understandably, India captain Virat Kohli has strongly articulated his concern as regards the planning of the tour.
To be playing a grueling schedule of 5 T20Is, 3 ODIs and two Test matches without time to get properly acclimatized to the conditions in New Zealand, will be a challenge even for this strong Indian side.
