Bangladesh cricket stalled
The coronavirus pandemic has dealt a heavy blow to Bangladesh, with more than 100,000 active cases. Since the March pandemic, the Bangladesh government has announced that it has not yet closed. Due to the coronavirus, the Dhaka Premier League was postponed, and the home test series for Australia and New Zealand were also postponed.

However, Bangladesh is planning to visit Sri Lanka for the first time in six years to conduct three tests. The situation is so severe that BCB President Nazmul Hassan (Nazmul Hassan) suggested leaving Sri Lanka early. The original plan was for the players to go to Colombo on September 23 or 24 for a two-week quarantine and then train for the series starting on October 24.
