The Indian cricket team arrived in Tauranga on Thursday, marking the start of preparations for the last two One-Day International matches of their New Zealand tour. The squad was welcomed at the Tauranga Airport and transferred to the team hotel, where officials began arranging practice sessions at the local ground.
