"The financial crisis played a part but mainly we didn't want to clash with India's New Zealand tour," Jones said.
The reason sounds logical to me, because their main source of income is from sponsorships & it will be hard to get sponsors while India is touring NZ. Even if they get, the Sponsors will like to lower the stakes because viewers will be less. Then comes IPL. So holding it after IPL makes commercial sense.
