Sri Lanka and New Zealand are set to face off in a two-match Test series as a part of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle. The Lankan Lions return to home soil to host the Blackcaps after their three-match tour of England which they lost 2-1.
New Zealand are placed third (50.00 percentage points) on the WTC points table, behind previous year's finalists India and Australia. Sri Lanka are currently at the fifth spot (42.86 percentage points).
New Zealand last played Test cricket in March 2024 against Australia, which they lost 2-0. The Kiwis were supposed to play Afghanistan in a one-off Test last week but that game was washed out due to rain and unsafe outfield conditions in Noida, India.
