Indian team leaves for New Zealand

Sourav Ganguly led the Indian team which left today from Kolkata for Singapore enroute to New Zealand for a 47-day long tour.

The Royal Brunei airlines aircraft, scheduled to depart from the NSC Bose International Airport at 0930 hours, left half an hour late due to the delayed arrival of the incoming flight.

The 16-member squad, along with coach John Wright, would reach Singapore later in the day and take a connecting flight for New Zealand.

India will play two Tests at Wellington and Hamilton followed by seven one-day internationals.

BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya was present at the airport to see off the side.
