New Zealand to play Sri Lanka in US

Wellington: New Zealand are likely to play international matches against Sri Lanka in the United States after striking a partnership with American administrators.

New Zealand Cricket (NZC) chief executive Justin Vaughan on Saturday confirmed a "strategic partnership" had been formed with USA Cricket.

It is likely the New Zealand team will play three games against Sri Lanka in Lauderhill, Florida in late May following the Twenty20 World Cup hosted by the West Indies.

Vaughan stressed the games -- the type of matches were not specified -- were not yet confirmed but was "optimistic" they would take place.
