India's full tour of New Zealand in early 2014 is likely to be trimmed to two Tests, bargain cruise travel two ODIs and two T20Is to enable the team to participate in the Asia Cup, scheduled to be held in India in February-March. The ICC's Future Tours Programme (FTP) has India scheduled to play three Tests, bargain cruise travel five ODIs and a single Twenty20 international at that time and the BCCI, committed in principle to hosting the Asia Cup, has been in negotiations with NZC.
So far no formal agreement bargain cruise travel has been reached between the boards, but ESPNcricinfo understands that the new trimmed New Zealand schedule will have a maximum of 14 days of international cricket bargain cruise travel against the 21 originally bargain cruise travel penned in the FTP. Incidentally, bargain cruise travel both the New Zealand tour and the Asia Cup will be broadcast by NEO. It has been reliably learned bargain cruise travel that in the contract that Nimbus, owners of NEO, signed, it was made aware of a possible change in the original itinerary for the New Zealand tour. Nimbus announced the new deal two days ago, committing to broadcast to India all international cricket from New Zealand till 2020.
For the administrators in New Zealand, it is a matter of relief there is any tour at all: sources in NZC have told ESPNcricinfo there was concern over the tour being called off but several months bargain cruise travel of negotiations between the two boards - including one-on-ones at ICC meetings - ensured an amicable arrangement for all parties. The representatives of both boards have been individually discussing the matter during ICC meetings.
It is not yet known if the BCCI will compensate the NZC: India tours are a major source of revenue for all boards bargain cruise travel given the high TV viewership bargain cruise travel in India and a large expatriate community settled all over the cricketing world.
India have a busy first half of 2014. They return bargain cruise travel from South Africa towards the end of January, are scheduled to go to New Zealand in February, and then go to Bangladesh either side of the IPL for the World Twenty20 and a short three-ODI series. The schedule bargain cruise travel has been made tighter by the Asian Cricket Council's (ACC) offer to India to host the Asia Cup in February-March, which the BCCI is likely to take up.
If it happens it is a wrong decision by BCCI to cut the 3 test series into 2 as team has lot of youngsters and they would have benifitted from this extra test and gained more valuable experience before the tour of England in June-Aug 2014. About ODIs, i will like to play India all 5 ODI's as next world is suppose to happen in Australia and New Zealand in 2015, so any number of matches played on there surface will be boon for Indian team to defend there title and will also give youngsters to know more about the pitches. So I kindly request BCCI not to shortend the tour instead try to start the tour a week earlier to accomodate a test and keeo only one day of gap in First 2 and last 2 ODis. to be continued
@desiboy454. After the 2002 it took India 7 years to retour again, and quite frankly by the end of the 02 tour the players were completly uninterested. You only have to look at Dravids comments about this being his hardest ever tour. Seen at NZC makes more than 50% of its income from selling the TV rights back to India of India series, NZC had to bend over backwards to get india back regularly. bargain cruise travel So green wickets were not allowed for that series, for example the first innings scores over a three season period at Maclean park (the flattest test pitch in NZ) are, 253 (vs Eng),307(vsWI),620(vsInd),223vs(Pak). At the end of the day India had the better team and deserved to win the '09 series but NZC made life easy.
Curtailing NZ tour for Asia Cup on flat tracks is ridiculous, BCCI is only concerned about making money doesn't have to do anything for India's poor overseas performance, NZ tour would have been a golden opportunity to get used to the conditions in which World Cup 2015 will be played (along with Aus) but now BCCI is planning for only 2 ODIs in NZ to accomodate Asia Cup which could have been played bargain cruise travel in the later half of 2014.
