The Bangladesh national cricket team is currently touring Sri Lanka from March 2017 to April 2017. The tour consists of a series of two Test matches, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and two Twenty20 internationals (T20Is).[1][2][3] The second Test match of the tour was the 100th Test played by Bangladesh.[4] The tour also featured a two-day warm-up match ahead of the Test fixtures and a one-day warm-up match ahead of the ODIs.[5] The Test series was played for the Joy Bangla Cup in honour of the father of the Bangladesh nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.[6]
Before the series, Sri Lanka's captain Angelo Mathews was ruled out of the Test matches with a hamstring injury.[7] Rangana Herath was named as captain in his place.[8] Mathews failed to recover in time for the ODI series, with Upul Tharanga named captain of the team.[9]
The Test series was drawn 1–1,[10] with Bangladesh winning the second match by 4 wickets. It was their first win against Sri Lanka in a Test match.[11] The victory was their ninth win in Tests and their fourth overseas.[12]

Bangladesh's captain Mushfiqur Rahim was asked to play as a batsman only, with Liton Das becoming the wicket-keeper for the Test series.[16] However, Das suffered a fractured rib during training ahead of the second Test, with Mushfiqur Rahim returning as the wicket-keeper for the final Test.[17] Kusal Perera was ruled out of Sri Lanka's squad for the first two ODI matches, but he is expected to be fit for the third and final match.[18] Mehedi Hasan was added to Bangladesh's ODI squad before the start of the limited-overs series.[19]
