Bangladeshi cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2016–17

Bangladesh's captain Mushfiqur Rahim was asked to play as a batsman only, with Litton Das becoming the wicket-keeper for the Test series. However, Das suffered a fractured rib during training ahead of the second Test, with Mushfiqur Rahim returning as the wicket-keeper for the final Test. Kusal Perera was ruled out of Sri Lanka's squad for the first two ODI matches, but he was expected to be fit for the third and final match. Mehedi Hasan was added to Bangladesh's ODI squad before the start of the limited-overs series. Niroshan Dickwella suffered a fracture to his hand in the first ODI and was ruled out of the rest of the series. Dilruwan Perera, Nuwan Kulasekara and Nuwan Pradeep were all added to Sri Lanka's ODI squad. Kusal Perera was included in Sri Lanka's T20I squad, subject to fitness, with Sandun Weerakkody added as cover, if needed. ==Tour matches==
