Wellington:The New Zealand A side for two first class matches and five One Day contests against India A from September 23 was announced here on Thursday by the country's cricket board.
The two first class matches will be played in Vijayawada, while the five One Day contests will take place in Visakhapatnam.
Canterbury first-class cricketer Henry Nicholls will lead the 16-man squad in the series. The left-hand batsman has played 14 Tests and 11 ODIs for New Zealand.
