Bangladesh Cricket Board official said on Monday that they are yet to finalize about playing shorter format during the tour of Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh's tour to Sri Lanka which was scheduled to be held in July-August comprising three-match Test series was postponed earlier due to coronavirus pandemic which halted all cricketing activities around the world since mid-March.

Considering the fact that coronavirus’ impact in Sri Lanka is minimal compared to their Asian neighbours, this prompted BCB to reschedule the tour which was part of ICC Test Championship as the tourists are eyeing to resume cricket through this series as all kind of cricketing activities were suspended since mid-March and only in the recent past through the commencement of the individual training session, cricket-related activities returned to the field.

According to BCB officials, Bangladesh’s series against Sri Lanka which got postponed, comprising three Tests, can now feature three T20I games along with the Tests though the BCB is yet to take a final call about it.

"We are in regular contact with the Sri Lanka Cricket Board. Our initial discussion was that it would be a series of three Tests. They have proposed to play three T20 matches and we make a decision in this regard announce it after the end of our internal discussions,’’ he said.
