The Sri Lanka cricket team toured Bangladesh in May 2022[1][2] to play two Test matches.[3][4] The Test series formed part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.[5][6] The fixtures for the tour were confirmed in March 2022.[7][8] In June 2020, the International Cricket Council (ICC) relaxed its rules on using neutral match officials, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] In April 2022, the ICC confirmed that neutral umpires would return to Test match cricket,[10] with Richard Kettleborough from England and Joel Wilson of the West Indies standing in the first and second Tests respectively.[11]
The first Test ended in a draw late on the fifth day, with Sri Lanka's Dinesh Chandimal and Niroshan Dickwella putting on an unbeaten partnership of 99 for the seventh wicket.[12] Teammate Angelo Mathews was named the player of the match, after he scored 199 in the first innings.[13] One the first day of the second Test, Bangladesh were reduced to 24/5 within the first hour of the match.[14] Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das then made a partnership of 272 runs, the highest partnership for the sixth wicket or lower in a Test match after a team had lost its first five wickets for less than 25 runs.[15] Bangladesh were bowled out for 365 runs in their first innings, with Mushfiqur Rahim finishing on 175 not out.[16] In reply, Sri Lanka made 506, with Angelo Mathews again top-scoring for the side, with an unbeaten 145 runs.[17] Bangladesh could only manage to score 169 in their second innings, with Sri Lanka winning by ten wickets to win the two-match series 1–0.[18]
Following the conclusion of the tour, Mominul Haque resigned as the captain of Bangladesh's Test team.[19]
Squads
[edit]
Prior to the series, Mehidy Hasan was ruled out Bangladesh's squad for the first Test due to a finger injury,[22] with Nayeem Hasan named as his replacement.[23] On 29 April 2022, Mosaddek Hossain was also added to Bangladesh's squad for the first Test.[24] Shakib Al Hasan was initially ruled out of Bangladesh's squad for the first Test after he tested positive for COVID-19.[25] However, he later provided a negative test, allowing him to play in the match.[26] Bangladesh's Shoriful Islam and Nayeem Hasan were both ruled out of the second Test, after they suffered a fractured hand and a fractured finger respectively.[27][28]
