The Tigers’ tour of Sri Lanka goes backwards

Bangladesh’s tour of Sri Lanka is still uncertain. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced its position a long time ago. But the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) has yet to officially inform the BCB. However, the BCB has hinted that the series is happening. And this tour may be in the second week of next month.

This was stated by Akram Khan, head of BCB’s cricket management department, after a meeting with selectors and directors at the Home of Cricket in Mirpur on Saturday (September 26). He said detailed instructions from the Lanka have not yet reached the BCB. So the final decision on the series is yet to be made. But the series is happening.

Akram Khan said: “The latest statement (from the Sri Lanka Cricket Board) is that the matter is not in their hands, it is a matter of the Ministry of Health. They also expected to receive something from the Ministry of Health yesterday. They hope to inform us in the next two or three days. They are trying, they want to give us a guide as soon as possible. We are optimistic, they are also positive. As it is closed today and tomorrow, maybe Monday, Tuesday (guide). ‘

Akram Khan further said that it was feared that the number of tests could decrease after the tour. That is no longer happening.

“If all goes well, we can go 8-10 next month,” he said. Since they were supposed to have a T20 tournament, it’s not happening on time, so they and we have time. Do not worry about that. As there is time, there were three Trials in the Trial Championship, all three will remain. ‘
