A short thread on tour books concerning #INDvNZ Tests.
There aren't many but there are some good ones.
Sport & Pastime published this pre-tour account in 1955.
The Story of the Tests Vol III by S.K. Gururnathan.
Another post tour account published in 1965.
One chapter covers the 1955/56 tour.
Dick Brittenden's account of New Zealand's tours to India, Pakistan and England in 1965.
Detailed coverage of all the Tests and much more.
One of two books covering NZ's 1969/70 tour.
Rajan Bala's book also covers the Tests against Australia that season.
And of course Brittenden's next tour book.
Once again covering NZ's cricket in India, Pakistan and England.
Plus the Test against West Indies earlier in 1969.
A book that covers all Test NZ played that year!
The tour books slowly stopped in the 70s and there were only the tour brochures.
But there were some books with broader scopes that covered some of the cricket played between these two countries.
One such was Peter Devlin's book covering NZ's win at Basin Reserve in 1981.
A similar book is Graham Hutchins' 'The Howarth Years'.
And Lynn McConnell's 'The First Fifty' analyzes NZ's first fifty Test victories.
Various general cricket history books by the likes of Don Neely and Joseph Romanos too cover bits and pieces of the India v NZ Tests.
