Bangladesh likely to tour Sri Lanka for two Tests in April 2021

Bangladesh Cricket Board chief executive, Nizamuddin Chowdhury revealed that the board was considering a short tour of Sri Lanka in April to play two Test matches. The two boards are currently in the negotiating stages after the tour was postponed from 2020 owing to the covid-19 pandemic. The two boards are attempting to add a few limited overs games along with the Test series.

Bangladesh were scheduled to play a three match Test series in July this year. The tour was postponed to October, but the BCB asked the Sri Lankan Board to postpone the tour as they were not ready to accept the 14-day quarantine period.

We are trying to see if we can play two-match Test series as that is the minimum requirement of ICC Test Championship in April,” Chowdhury told Cricbuzz .”You have to understand that there is quarantine issues and all those things takes time so we are planning in this manner. If there is space we will add few shorter formats but everything depends on available time and space,” he said.

Bangladesh will return to the international stage as they host West Indies for a three match ODI series, followed by two Tests in January, 2021.
