A squad announcement for the series will be named in two parts. The majority of the squad will be named within the next fortnight, while some players will be selected from the New Zealand A side - who have their own tour of India prior.
BLACKCAPS Coach Mike Hesson said the team had an opportunity to build on a solid ODI series from their tour last year.
“Playing against India in their home conditions is widely accepted as one of the toughest challenges in cricket,” said Hesson.
“There were some good performances last year when we forced a decider and we’re determined to improve again and be competitive.
"It ’s the start of an exciting summer of T20 cricket for us and obviously we are pretty keen to hold onto that number one ICC world ranking."
The BLACKCAPS home summer begins 1 December against the West Indies in Wellington.
