The Black Caps arrived in Sri Lanka earlier this week for a highly anticipated series, which includes two T20 matches at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium on November 9 and 10. The action will then shift to the ODI format, with three matches scheduled for November 13, 17, and 19 at Dambulla and Pallekele stadiums.

While cricket remains their primary focus, the team has made sure to take in the sights and sounds of Sri Lanka during their tour. Minneriya National Park, located near the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, provided the perfect escape for the players. Known for its rich biodiversity, the park is a must-visit for any nature lover, offering a chance to observe wildlife in their natural habitat.

The visit to Minneriya was a welcome respite for the team as they prepare for the upcoming matches. The players were seen enjoying the tranquil surroundings, with some even trying their hand at bird watching and wildlife photography. 

The T20 series is set to kick off tomorrow, with both teams eager to build momentum ahead of the World Cup qualifiers. Following their time at Minneriya, the Black Caps are fully charged and ready for the challenges ahead.

The New Zealand team will be looking to make a strong impression on the Sri Lankan crowd, as they look forward to an exciting and competitive series.
