Kasun Rajitha will not be available for the second Test match as the player has suffered an injury to his left upper back area, said a press release from Sri Lanka Cricket today
Bangladesh national team head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe will not be present during the upcoming second Test against Sri Lanka, scheduled to commence on 30 March in Chattogram.
Shakib Al Hasan will play the second Test against Sri Lanka in Chattogram, starting on March 30, with some form with the bat after scoring a fluent half-century in the Dhaka Premier League match on Wednesday.
In the Sylhet Test, Sri Lanka didn’t outplay Bangladesh because they had more experience, instead they outdid the hosts because of their superior mindset.
Habibul Bashar, former men's team selector and now women's cricket's operational head, feels that men's team players are not used to the kinds of wicket served in the first Test at Sylhet and should play more domestic matches to overcome their issues.
The Tigers lost the wicket of night-watchman Taijul Islam early in the day, getting trapped LBW for six, after the Tigers began the fourth day reeling on 47 for 5
“We couldn’t prepare a lot [for the Tests]. We had T20s and ODIs [against Sri Lanka]. We had to play Tests just two [three] days after that. This might’ve been a reason.”
Bangladesh lost five wickets for 47 runs in 13 overs late on the third day of Sylhet Test, having been earlier set a victory target of 511 runs by Sri Lanka on Sunday.
In the last ball of the morning session on Day 2 of the Sylhet Test yesterday, Taijul Islam ran a couple of runs off pacer Vishwa Fernando to reach 41, crossing into the 40s for the first time in his Test career.

After an eventful opening day of the Sylhet Test yesterday, Bangladesh find themselves in a vulnerable position against Sri Lanka, paying dearly for the on-field and tactical errors they made on the day.
