Bangladesh mull Lanka tour following T20 postponement

Bangladesh are planning to reschedule their three-Test series in Sri Lanka in October following the postponement of this year’s Twenty20 World Cup in Australia, according to a report.

The series was originally scheduled in July-August but had to be postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic which also derailed the World Cup.

The governing International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday announced new dates for the Twenty20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022 as well as the 50-overs World Cup in India in 2023. “The ICC’s announcement of the three major tournaments has provided what window we can work with, as now that we know that the tournament dates are fixed, we can work around with our schedule,” Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) chief executive Nizamuddin Chowdhury told website.
