Following a heavy defeat by 328 runs in the first Test of the two-match series, the hosts Bangladesh are gearing up to face Sri Lanka in the second and final game at Chattogram’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium from March 30 to April 03.
While the home team aims to stage a comeback and level the series, the visitors have been hit with an injury setback before the match commences. Fast bowler Kasun Rajitha has been ruled out of the second Test due to a left upper back injury. He will be replaced by Asitha Fernando in the Sri Lankan squad.
On the other hand, Bangladesh have received a boost as experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has made himself available for this crucial match. He was seen diligently training in the nets for the pivotal encounter against the Islanders.
