Seven players will be added to the squad after the first three 50-over contests, with 21 players in total to be used across the five ODIs matches.

New Zealand head coach Rob Walter said: "First and foremost this is huge series for us, playing in front of our fans in full stadiums against a formidable Indian side.

"With the ODI World Cup just one year away it's important for us to also view these matches as valuable preparation for that event.

"Bringing in seven players for the final ODIs allows us to test our depth and see how those players fare against a world-class side.

"Obviously every Test match is important for us in terms of championship points, which is why we're extracting some of that squad early for additional preparation before the first Test against India at the Basin Reserve on November 19."
