Sri Lanka will host New Zealand between August and September for two test matches and three Twenty20 internationals, the Sri Lankan Cricket Board (SLC) said. “The New Zealand national team will arrive in Sri Lanka on August 3, 2019, to take part in a cricket series,” the SLC said in a statement. “During the tour, New Zealand will play two test matches and three T20 games.”New Zealand will be the first team to tour Sri Lanka since the Easter Sunday suicide bombings that killed 253 people in the island nation. The bombings led to Sri Lanka postponing a tour of Pakistan’s Under-19 team, who were scheduled to play two four-day matches and three one-dayers in Galle and Hambantota. The last time Sri Lanka hosted New Zealand was in 2012, with the two-test series ending 1-1.
