Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal, despite his side winning the series vs Sri Lanka, rued the defeat in the final ODI and insisted that the ‘missed chance’ could come back to bite Bangladesh in the future. As things stand, with 5 wins, Bangladesh are top of the ODI Super League table.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam, who was sixth in the ICC Test batsman’s rankings last week, has slipped to ninth position following his golden duck against Zimbabwe at Harare. While Indian skipper Virat Kohli continues to remain fifth, wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant has surged into the Top 6.

As per the communication from Sri Lanka Cricket to Bangladesh Cricket Board, the visitors will have to undergo a seven-day complete isolation before kick-starting the tour. BCB CEO Nizamuddin Chowdhury stated that SLC has been working on keeping the number of quarantine days to a minimum.

In a mandatory test carried out by the BCB ahead of their tour of Sri Lanka, opener Saif Hassan, alongside Strength and Conditioning coach Nick Lee, has tested positive for Covid-19. As a matter of fact, Lee had earlier tested positive on August 14 but returned a negative result on August 23.
