There will be only one change in the 15-man squad for the different formats. Jeet Raval will be replaced by Glenn Philips following the first-class fixtures. From the 16 players named to tour, 13 have represented the Black Caps previously and seven are centrally contracted to New Zealand Cricket.
Otago is the only major province not represented.
Selector Gavin Larsen will manage the side and said the New Zealand A programme was critical for preparing players for international cricket.
"Preparing for international cricket is challenging, so this is a great chance for these players to improve their game in sub-continent conditions," Larsen said.
Former Otago wicketkeeper Marty Croy will go on the tour as a specialist wicketkeeping coach.
"Having Marty Croy there to work with our three young wicketkeepers will be of immense benefit to their development. It’s obviously a very specific skill set and a position we need to build depth in."
Shane Bond will coach the side. The team departs for India on September 19.
