Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh called off

International cricket has been on hold for three and a half months due to the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic. Earlier, four bilateral series involving Bangladesh got postponed.  Now their scheduled tour of Sri Lanka has also been called off.

International Cricket Council (ICC), on its official Facebook page, announced the fate of the series. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) are yet to give statements though.
