The Black Caps will keep an unchanged eleven for tomorrow's first test against India in Auckland.
Seamer Doug Bracewell and batsman Jesse Ryder will sit out the Eden Park Test, meaning the side is the same as the one that secured a 2-nil series win over West Indies early in the summer.
Captain Brendon McCullum says it's down to both the success against the West Indies and the Eden Park conditions.
"I's a nice luxury to be able to continue with the same team, and obviously the pitch as well. I think it's got a little bit of grass on it but I still feel that you've got to pick a team for five days rather than the first day.''
A partly cloudy day is expected in Auckland tomorrow.
