Napier and Wellington have been chosen as the venues for the two Tests between New Zealand [Images] and Sri Lanka [Images], it was announced on Wednesday.
New Zealand Cricket chief executive Martin Snedden said the first Test of the revised series would be held at Napier from April 4-8 with the second match at Wellington from April 11-15.
The Sri Lankans will also play a three-day warm-up match from March 28-30 at a venue yet to be decided.
"We chose the two venues that we believe will offer the best Test cricket conditions at this time of year," Snedden said in a statement.
The series was originally scheduled to take place in January but was postponed because of the Asian tsunami.
