Auckland: The ODI series between India and New Zealand will begin on February 12, according to the announcement by the New Zealand Cricket on Friday.
The NZC has rescheduled fixtures to give the two sides more time between each match.
The Indian team was scheduled to play five ODIs and a T20I, starting February 9 across three venues but New Zealand Cricket (NZC) moved all matches to John Davies Oval in Queenstown last month in order to limit travelling and reduce the chances of a COVID-19 outbreak.
“The date of the first KFC T20I remains the same but there has been some adjustments made to the subsequent five match KFC ODI series,” a statement from NZC read.
The ODI series-opener will now be played on February 12 rather than February 11.
The second ODI, which was slated to be played on February 14, has also been pushed a day back and is now scheduled for February 15, while the third ODI is now slated for February 18, rather than February 16.
