Sri Lanka Team Manager Manuja Kariyapperuma stated that the facilities supplied by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) are satisfactory and are the same as those supplied to Bangladesh when they visited Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series last month.
The statement from the Sri Lanka national cricket team official has come at the back of a scare of a possible ‘bio secured bubble breach’ in the ongoing three-match ODI series. As one of the Sri Lanka cricketer Shehan Fernando found positive for Covid-19.
“The facilities that have been offered are adequate and we made you serve the facilities that have been offered to us as well. I am looking forward to a very good series. The Bangladesh cricket board is making every effort to give the best facilities available for us in the new normal. It is something we too must understand and adapt when you come to another country,” said manager Manuja

The announcement from the Sri Lankan official puts away any questions regarding the series' continuation. Despite the fact that the first ODI went forward as planned, there was widespread speculation that the rest of the series might not.
“The relationship the two boards have is commendable. Even if there is anything [any issue] we can sort it out so there is absolutely no problem. I think there a great understanding between the boards and the officials.
“Yes we had two players and one support staff member tested Covid-19 positive. But two were declared negative after the second test. So these things happen. You know there is a thing called false positive reports and I think that might have been the case,” said the Sri Lanka team official.
