New Zealand has agreed to add a third Test and an extra Twenty20 match to India's tour starting next month. India asked earlier this month to play an extra Test during the tour to help offset losses after the cancellation of matches against England and Pakistan.

The first Test will start on March 18, followed by the Napier Test from March 26 and the final match will start on April 3 in Wellington.
