The Sri Lanka Cricket Board on Monday announced its 17-member team for the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh. The command of this team is once again given in the hands of Charith Asanka. The first match will be held at Pallekele on Thursday, the second match will be held on Sunday at Dambula and the final match will be held on 16 July at Premdasa Stadium in Colombo.
