When is India's next T20I match? India's upcoming T20I series schedule detailed

India closed out their T20I series against New Zealand Seddon Park on Sunday, losing the final match to New Zealand by seven wickets but taking the series 3-2 on the strength of the three wins in the opening games. India now move on to five ODIs across New Zealand from November 4 and then two Tests, the second of which finishes in Christchurch on December 1, which means seven weeks without a T20I.
