The two sides will clash at Bert Sutcliffe Oval on Friday and Sunday.
Canterbury speedster Andrew Hazeldine earns his first call-up to the national stage and will be joined in the pace department by Canterbury teammate Henry Shipley and Northern District’s fast bowler Zak Gibson.
Canterbury’s Jack Boyle will open the batting for the NZ XI with Jakob Bhula while Theo van Woerkom is the specialist spinner.
India A boasts test stars Mayank Agarwal, ranked 13th in the ICC test batting rankings, and 20-year-old Prithvi Shaw - who scored a century on debut and averages 118.5 after two tests.
It will also include spinners Krunal Pandya, Axar Patel and Khaleel Ahmed who have all played for the Indian senior side.
India A will be captained by Shubman Gill.
Selector Gavin Larsen said the NZ XI has an exciting couple of days in store.
"It’s a great opportunity for our guys, many of whom are at different stages of their careers," he said.
"India A are full of international experience and we know how tough it is to make that senior team so we're under no illusions about the challenge ahead.
"Coach John Bracewell and myself are looking forward to seeing how the players respond, and who stands up."
