Nidahas Trophy is an international cricket tournament in Sri Lanka. The tournament is held to celebrate the independence of the Asian island country Sri Lanka.[2] The tournament is not a regular event in the calendar with the previous tournaments having a gap of 20 years in between [3].Each of the three participating teams play each other twice and the top two progress to the final. In March 2017 Sri Lanka Cricket announced that the 2018 tournament would be played in the newer and shorter T20I format with Bangladesh entering the tournament, replacing the only Non-Asian team in the triple-nation New Zealand .
