The Clash: When and Where
The Test series serves as the debut for both teams in the 2025-27 World Test Championship. The first Test will be played at Galle from June 17 to 21, while the second will take place at Colombo from June 25 to 29. The series will be followed by three ODIs and as many T20Is.[1]
Remember, the last time Bangladesh toured Sri Lanka for a Test series was in April 2021, with the visitors suffering a 0-1 loss.[1]
Team News: Who's In, Who's Out?
Sri Lanka, after the retirements of Dimuth Karunaratne and Angelo Mathews, are going through a phase of change. Mathews, however, will play his farewell match in the first Test at Galle. Dhananjaya de Silva, who captained Sri Lanka in their match against Australia, is speculated to lead the team in this series, but the squad has yet to be announced.[1]
Bangladesh, under the leadership of Najmul Hossain Shanto, has been delivering impressive results, with notable achievements like a 2-0 whitewash in Pakistan and a 1-1 draw in the West Indies.[1] Wicketkeeper Litton Das, who has recovered from an injury, and pace bowler Ebadot Hossain, absent from the international scene since July 2023, have been included in the squad. Meanwhile, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Tanvir Islam, and Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who played in the Zimbabwe Tests, have been dropped.[1]
