The Tigers started 2022 with a historic defeat over Tom Latham’s New Zealand at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, where Ebadot Hossain became the Player of the Match for his six-wicket haul in the second innings. But since then, Mominul Haque and Co. have lost three Tests in a row, including two matches in South Africa where Keshav Maharaj ran through their batting lineup with ease.

The hosts have a major concern regarding whether or not to include Shakib Al Hasan in the playing XI. The veteran tested COVID-19 positive a few days ago, but has managed to recover. Although he’s one of their key players, head coach Russell Domingo is apprehensive about Shakib taking the field in Chattogram. Domingo said that the Tigers may leave out a 50-60 percent fit Shakib.

Sri Lanka, led by Dimuth Karunaratne, will go into the series after losing 0-2 to India a couple of months back. Right-handed batter Oshada Fernando has found his way back into the squad after performing exceptionally in domestic cricket. 

Sri Lanka are currently placed fifth in the points table in the 2021-23 World Test Championship. Bangladesh, on the contrary, are ranked eighth.

About Pitch:

The wicket at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium is expected to assist the spinners. The skipper winning the toss might want to bat first and make the most of good batting conditions. Meanwhile, the rain is expected to interrupt on all five days.

The last Test match at this venue was six months ago. In that match, the seamers who did the bulk of the damage as Pakistan brushed aside the hosts. However, Taijul Islam featured in that game and picked up seven wickets.
