SL ODIs another chance to ‘bounce back’

Bangladesh returned home yesterday after yet another disappointing performance, this time in Sri Lanka, where the Tigers lost the two-match Test series after a crushing 209-run defeat in the second Test.

The focus, however, is already shifting to the 50-over format, with Sri Lanka all set to arrive in Bangladesh to take part in a three-match ODI series later this month. Selectors have already announced a 23-member preliminary squad and those who were not part of the Sri Lanka tour have already started training at the home of cricket in Mirpur.
