In April 2016, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the proposition of one of the Test matches being a day/night game.[4] New Zealand Cricket stated that "a number of factors were yet to be finalised before the match could be confirmed".[5] In June 2016, the BCCI confirmed the fixtures for India's 2016/17 season, but there was no mention of a day/night Test.[6] However, it was reported that a senior official of the Cricket Association of Bengal had confirmed that the Test match in Kolkata would be a day/night game.[7][8] At the end of June the dates and times of the matches were announced, with the BCCI stating that all the Tests will start at 9:30am local time.[9] In September 2016, the BCCI confirmed that there would be no day/night Tests in India during the 2016–17 season.[10]
In September 2016 the BCCI moved the second ODI from 19 October to 20 October because of Karva Chauth.[11][12] The first Test in Kanpur was India's 500th Test match[13] and the second Test in Kolkata was India's 250th Test match at home.[14] The first ODI in Dharamshala was India's 900th ODI match.[15]
Following the conclusion of the second Test, there were reports that the Lodha Committee had frozen the BCCI's bank accounts.[16] The BCCI then threatened to cancel all the remaining fixtures of the tour.[17] The chief executive of New Zealand Cricket, David White, said that their team would continue with the tour and were preparing to travel to Indore for the third Test.[18] However, the Lodha Committee clarified what it had said, saying they did not ask for the BCCI's accounts to be frozen, but requested that two specific payments were stopped.[19]
