After the conclusion of the white-ball leg that saw Sri Lanka claim the T20I series 2-1, Bangladesh clawed their way back and unsurped the Lankans with an ODI series victory. The focus now turns to Test matches between the two nations with the 1st Test beginning from March 22. (More Cricket News)

The series, that will be part of the 2023-25 ICC World Test Championship cycle, will see the two 'rivals' clash at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet in the 1st Test. The 2nd will be played at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram.

Sri Lanka's last Test match saw them beat Afghanistan by 10 wickets whereas Bangladesh locked horns against New Zealand in the December 2023 series that ended in a 1-1 draw.

For the visitors, the return of Wanindu Hasaranga in the Test squad after the spinner hanging up his boots last year, meant to have a positive impact on the team. However, Hasaranga was handed a two-Test ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for violating article 2.8 of the IC Code of Conduct and will therefore, miss the series.

Dhananjaya de Silva will lead the line for Sri Lanka. As for Bangladesh, Mushfiqur Rahim will miss the series due to a fractured thumb and will be led by Najmul Hossain Shanto.
