Tigers retain squad for second T20

Bangladesh decided to stick with the same squad for their second T20 match against Sri Lanka, which is to be played at Sylhet.

Tigers lost the first T20I against the Lankans on February 15 despite reaching their highest total in a T20 game as Sri Lanka coasted to victory with six wickets and 20 balls to spare.

The six uncapped players in Afif Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Abu Jayed, Nazmul Islam Apu, Ariful Haque and Zakir Hasan have all been retained into the squad with Mahmudullah Riyad as captain.

The second T20I will be the final match of Sri Lanka's tour. The tourists will achieve a clean sweep of series if they win in Sylhet, having earlier won the ODI tri-series and the Test series against the Tigers.
