Sri Lanka is ready to tour Bangladesh later this month, a cricket official said yesterday.
The series involving two Test matches, three ODIs and two Twenty20s was in jeopardy as a result of volatile security in Bangladesh.
Sri Lanka Cricket Secretary Nishantha Ranatunga said the tour is almost on and it will be announced officially tomorrow.
“For us the tour is on as we are happy with the security there. We’ll go through the security assessment report on Monday and confirm it,” Ranatunga said.
However, Sri Lanka Cricket officials have asked the Bangladesh cricket board to drop Sylhet in the north-east of the country as a venue, following the visit of a security appraisal team headed by its Vice President Mohan de Silva.
