India will tour New Zealand from October 2 to 11 to play the Black Sticks in a four-match bilateral Test series. The series will be preceded by two practice games against New Zealand A.
"We have prepared a lot for the upcoming New Zealand tour and are pretty excited about the tournament. The coach is also making us work a lot harder during our preparations, helping to improve on penalty corner conversions and our defence," said Manpreet, who plays as a centre-half.
"We are working on rectifying our mistakes as we would not want to repeat them in the upcoming tournament. Playing on the opponent's home ground will be a tough challenge for us but we are confident of a positive result."
India will play their first match against New Zealand A on October 2 in Auckland.
