Mumbai: India won't be playing a day/night Test against New Zealand, when the Blackcaps come here for a three-match series in September-October.
As per the BCCI itinerary, all three Tests - in Kanpur, Kolkata and Indore - will start at 9.30am.
The Indian cricket board had earlier wanted to play a pink-ball Test under lights against New Zealand. That they got a lukewarm response from New Zealand Cricket (NZC) had already been reported in this paper.
The visitors will play three Tests and five ODIs during their stay in this country. The Test matches will be played in Kanpur from September 22 to 26 followed by Kolkata from September 30 to October 4 and Indore from October 8 to 12.
The original itinerary had allotted Eden Gardens the third match of the series but the BCCI revised it following a request from Cricket Association of Bengal president Sourav Ganguly. The latter had mailed the BCCI to rework the schedule as the Kolkata game clashed with Bengal's annual autumn festival, Durga Puja.
