Be that as it may, with question marks over the vicinity of the West Indies and New Delhi yet to get leeway to have matches, fans who need to secure flights, lodgings and even visas are still not able to solidify trip arranges.
The official line from the Indian board is that any glitches will be resolved and there is no reason for alert.
"Everything will be dealt with soon," Anurag Thakur, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said.
In any case, Paul Ford, prime supporter of New Zealand's Beige Brigade fan club, said it was currently essentially past the point of no return for a few fans.
"We would have wanted to go to India as New Zealand have a decent group this time round," Ford said.
