Bangladesh begin their very important away Test series against Sri Lanka on Wednesday when they take on hosts Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Stadium in Kandy.
Bangladesh are without their greatest Test player Shakib Al Hasan and are coming off a very disappointing loss to West Indies at home. But they have avoided overreacting to the loss and have retained their key players. Sri Lanka holds good memories for them as it was here that they registered a rare away Test win in 2017.

The hosts Sri Lanka had a contrasting experience in their last Test series as they were able to achieve a 0-0 draw against hosts West Indies. This, coming after their terrible loss to England earlier, was a big boost to the morale.
