New Zealand is not dwelling on the T20 World Cup, which is still a month away, and is instead focused on the immediate challenge of facing the Indian bowlers in the upcoming white-ball series, batter Daryl Mitchell said on Wednesday.

With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in their ranks, India will take on the Kiwis in a three-match ODI series starting on Sunday followed by a five-match T20I series.

The T20 World Cup will be held from February 7 to March 8 in India and Sri Lanka.

'We'll look at the T20 World Cup in a month's time. For now we'll worry about playing an ODI series against India, and they've got some pretty good bowlers themselves with the likes of Bumrah and Chakravarthy,' Mitchell told the media here during New Zealand Cricket Golf Day organised with TCM Sports here.

'A really key value for us as the New Zealand credit team is being where out feet are and that means being in the present and what the challenge is at that moment.

'That's the exciting thing is we got three ODIs against the world-class Indian team in Indian conditions in front of full crowds. So we'll be where our feet are. We'll control the now and we'll look forward to the World Cup in a month,' he added.

Interestingly, both Bumrah and Chakravarthy are not a part of the ODI series but will feature in the T20Is. Mitchell said he will look to draw from experience of playing in India when it comes to handling spinners.

'I've been playing international cricket for a little while now and as a part of playing international cricket you have to adapt to different conditions all around the world,' he said.
