Stupid BCCI Wallahs have done it again. There are no practice games to acclimatise with the conditions in New Zealand, where there will be prodigious swing for the faster bowlers. For the test matches they have only one practice game which is not going to help either. BCCI is interested in making money only.
I think the weather conditions will not be so bad during that time. Cold will not have settled in & it will not be as windy as it usually is during Spring
