The island nation will take part in a two-match Test series against hosts Bangladesh. The first Test of the series will be played in Chattogram from May 15 while the second and final Test of the series will take place in Dhaka from May 23, reports UNB.

This series is a part of the ICC Test Championship. Sri Lanka is currently in fifth place in the points table of this contest while Bangladesh is in the eighth.

In the previous series against South Africa, Bangladesh lost both matches.

Sri Lanka also endured the same fate against India earlier this year in India.

The Bangladesh team is scheduled to leave Dhaka this evening for Chattogram. They will have a practice camp in the port city of Chattogram ahead of the first Test at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.

While the Bangladesh team will be busy practicing in Chattogram, Sri Lanka will play a two-day practice match on May 10 and 11 in BKSP. They will travel to Chattogram after the practice match.
