Bangladeshi cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2020

The Bangladesh cricket team were scheduled to tour Sri Lanka in July and August 2020 to play three Test matches.[1][2] The Test series would have formed part of the inaugural 2019–21 ICC World Test Championship.[3] In April 2020, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirmed that they had not yet ruled out playing Sri Lanka due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but would wait on government instructions before going ahead with the tour.[4]

In May 2020, Nizamuddin Chowdhury, CEO of BCB, confirmed that they were in discussions with Sri Lanka Cricket with regards to playing the series.[5] Nazmul Hasan, President of the BCB, suggested that their priorities are ICC events, and will wait to see what the ICC and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) does first.[6] However, on 24 June 2020, the tour was postponed due to the pandemic.[7][8]
