Sports Reporter
The remaining players of the one day squad led by shorter-formats captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza will fly for Colombo to join the Tigers fortress for the ODI and T20 series against the hosts Sri Lanka at 2:05pm today.
The three-match ODI series will commence from March 25. Before going into the series, Bangladesh will play a practice match against a local side at Dambulla on March 22.
The first two matches of the series will be held at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla on March 25 and 28 respectively.
The third and last match of the three-match series will be played at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo on April 1.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Nurul Hasan Sohan, spin all-rounder Shuvagata Hom and uncapped spinner Sanjamul Islam will accompany Mashrafe.
The limited-overs captain, who was out of action for nearly two months due to his thumb injury layoff, played a practice match against the Emerging Teams Asia Cup on Thursday before starting his international games.
He justified his complete fitness throughout the match. The pacer bowled eight overs without any pain though he went wicketless.
Overall if you look at them they are in well form in ODI and T20. Even they triumphed two T20 series against Australia and South Africa in their respective ground.
Some good players have come into the side. I think they are now good side in one day and T20, said Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, who took part in the players transfer of Dhaka Premier League (DPL) and penned paper to play for Legends of Rupganj.
