Bangladesh tour of Sri Lanka postponed again as stalemate over quarantine continues

Bangladesh’s tour of Sri Lanka is set to be the first series for both teams since world cricket went into pandemic-induced hiatus 

Bangladesh’s tour of Sri Lanka has been postponed yet again following a stalemate between the BCB and the SLC over quarantine requirements, with weeks of negotiation failing to yield an agreement between the two boards. The length of the quarantine, which the Sri Lankan health authorities had insisted be 14 days, with the players’ movement strictly limited to their hotel rooms, was the main proposal the Bangladesh board refused to agree with.

“Any tourist who is entering Sri Lanka has to abide by this rule [of 14 days in quarantine],” Nazmul Hassan, the BCB president, said on Monday. “They [the SLC] have told us that they couldn’t do anything about this point [about quarantine]. We have informed them that we have to reschedule the tour to a time when things will improve.
