New Zealand to tour Sri Lanka this year
New Zealand will play two tests, five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match on a tour of Sri Lanka in October-November, Sri Lanka Cricket said on Friday.
The month-long tour opens on October 30 with a Twenty20 game in Pallekele, which will also host the first one-day international two days later.
Colombo and Hambantota will hold two one-dayers each before the first test starts in Galle on November 17. The second test will be played in Colombo from November 25.
