New Zealand Cricket are hoping to take a decision by this week-end on their Indian counterparts' request for scheduling an additional Test during the national team's tour of New Zealand in March-April.
A spokesperson for NZC said via e-mail that a request for an additional Test to add to the two already scheduled has been received by them from the BCCI and is being considered.

"No decision has been made yet. It is hoped that a decision will be reached before the end of this week", the spokesperson replied to an e-mail query.
