Injuries to pacers Shariful Islam and Taskin Ahmed have paved the way for the inclusion of 23-year-old Rejaur Rehman Raja. While out of form opener Shadman Islam has been dropped from the side.

Taskin Ahmed will not be part of the Test series at all as he recovers from s back injury while Shoriful Islam is expected to be fit by the 2nd Test.

Shoriful has been playing in the Dhaka Premier League as while playing for Prime Bank he bowled 10 overs for 56 runs and picked up a solitary wicket.

Another pacer Abu Jayed too was dropped from the side despite being part of the squad for the tours of South Africa and New Zealand.

Shakib Al Hasan who recently had several controversies with respect to his selection has been included in the squad. While Mustafizur Rahman is not part of the squad.

Bangladesh has recently been playing some decent cricket as they drew the Test series in New Zealand 1-1 for the first time and also won the ODI series in South Africa for the first time.

They did lose the test series to South Africa 2-0 but they would hope that they can bounce back from that defeat against Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh Squad:

Mominul Haque (Captain), Tamim Iqbal Khan, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Kumar Das, Yasir Ali Chowdhury, Taijul Islam, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, Ebadot Hossain Chowdhury, Syed Khaled Ahmed, Quazi Nurul Hasan Sohan, Rejaur Rahman Raja, Shohidul Islam, Shoriful Islam (subject to fitness)
