Bangladesh arrive in Sri Lanka for Test series

COLOMBO: A 21-member Bangladesh squad, with three new faces in Test reckoning, arrived in Colombo on Monday to play a two-match Test series in Kandy from April 21. The touring side, which will remain in a bio-bubble, will play a two-day warm-up game in Katunayake before heading to Kandy where both the Tests, which are a part of the World Test Championships, are scheduled. Bangladesh had earlier announced a 21-member preliminary squad for the tour, with the return of Shuvagata Hom to the side. The uncapped pace trio of Shoriful Islam, Mukidul Islam Mugdho, and Shohidul Islam, have received their maiden call-ups after an impressive domestic season. Shuvagata Hom last played international Test cricket in 2016 against England at home before being dropped. IANS
