SL to arrive in May

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed the schedule for the Tigers' two-match home Test series against Sri Lanka through a press release yesterday.

The Sri Lankan cricket team will arrive in Bangladesh on May 8 for a series that will be part of the 2021-2023 ICC World Test Championship.

Following a two-day practice match, scheduled for May 11 and 12 at the MA Aziz Stadium in Chattogram, the two teams will play the first Test on May 15 at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in the port city.

The teams will then travel to Dhaka for the second and final Test of the series, beginning on May 23 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

The last time the two sides clashed in Tests was when Bangladesh toured Sri Lanka in 2021 for a two-match series which ended 1-0 in hosts' favour.
