The Bangladesh national cricket team toured Sri Lanka from March 2017 to April 2017. The tour consisted of a series of two Test matches, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and two Twenty20 internationals (T20Is). [1] [2] [3] The second Test match of the tour was the 100th Test played by Bangladesh. [4] The tour also featured a two-day warm-up match ahead of the Test fixtures and a one-day warm-up match ahead of the ODIs. [5] The Test series was played for the Joy Bangla Cup in honour of the father of the Bangladesh nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. [6]
Before the series, Sri Lanka's captain Angelo Mathews was ruled out of the Test matches with a hamstring injury. [7] Rangana Herath was named as captain in his place. [8] Mathews failed to recover in time for the ODI and T20I series, with Upul Tharanga named captain of the team for both formats. [9]
The Test series was drawn 1–1, [10] with Bangladesh winning the second match by 4 wickets. It was their first win against Sri Lanka in a Test match. [11] The victory was their ninth win in Tests and their fourth overseas. [12] The ODI series was drawn 1–1, with the second of the third match ending in a no result, due to rain. [13] The T20I series also finished 1–1. [14]
After the conclusion of the ODI series, Bangladesh's captain, Mashrafe Mortaza, was suspended for one match for maintaining a slow over-rate in the third game. [15] Therefore, he did not play in Bangladesh's first fixture of the 2017 Ireland Tri-Nation Series in May 2017. [15] During the coin toss of the first T20I, Mashrafe announced his retirement from T20Is following the conclusion of the series. [16]
Bangladesh's captain Mushfiqur Rahim was asked to play as a batsman only, with Litton Das becoming the wicket-keeper for the Test series. [22] However, Das suffered a fractured rib during training ahead of the second Test, with Mushfiqur Rahim returning as the wicket-keeper for the final Test. [23] Kusal Perera was ruled out of Sri Lanka's squad for the first two ODI matches, but he was expected to be fit for the third and final match. [24] Mehedi Hasan was added to Bangladesh's ODI squad before the start of the limited-overs series. [25] Niroshan Dickwella suffered a fracture to his hand in the first ODI and was ruled out of the rest of the series. [26] Dilruwan Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara and Nuwan Pradeep were all added to Sri Lanka's ODI squad. [26] Kusal Perera was included in Sri Lanka's T20I squad, subject to fitness, with Sandun Weerakkody added as cover, if needed. [20]
