Bangladesh’s tour of Sri Lanka for the ICC World Test Championship is in doubt after the Sri Lankan Cricket Board increased the period of the quarantine to 14 days. Initially the Sri Lankan Cricket Board had said the Bangladesh team needed to be in quarantine for only seven days but with the coronavirus pandemic spreading, the quarantine period has been extended. This has made the Bangladesh Cricket Board president very unhappy and he said, “We cannot play World Test Championships with these terms and conditions. Bangladesh has been ravaged by the coronavirus while Sri Lanka has kept the pandemic in check. Both teams have not played any form of cricket since the start of the year, with England’s tour to Sri Lanka postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic and Bangladesh’s series against Australia and New Zealand also postponed.
