After the humiliation of the Bangladesh whitewash, the New Zealand cricketers have left for what looms as a much tougher tour of India.
First up is a three-Test series starting in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
With India the world's top ranked Test side and coming off a series win over Australia, the New Zealand coach Mark Greatbatch singles out adaptability as a key concern the Black Caps must address if they're to avoid more humiliation.
Greatbatch says the ability to adapt to new conditions and circumstances is crucial to their chances.
