will play three four-day matches against New Zealand A in Christchurch from October 24, New Zealand Cricket announced on Tuesday.
The series will be part of India's build-up to the two-Test series against New Zealand later in the tour, with the A side's matches preceding the senior team's red-ball assignment.
The fixtures were announced as part of New Zealand Cricket's domestic red-ball schedule for the Plunket Shield. "The domestic red ball summer will also get an injection of international class as New Zealand A host India A for three four-day matches in Christchurch starting October 24," NZC said on its website.
India are scheduled to tour New Zealand in October-November for five T20Is, five ODIs and two Tests. The two-Test series will begin in Wellington from November 19-23, followed by the second Test in Christchurch from November 27-December 1.
India are currently ranked fifth in the World Test Championship points table, while New Zealand are third. New Zealand had made a historic 3-0 sweep in their tour of India during their previous Test series in 2024-25.
