Sri Lanka have won the toss and decided to bat first against Bangladesh in the 2nd and final Test of the two-match series at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Thursday.
Tigers have dropped Mosaddek Hossain to include Sabbir Rahman in the squad as he appears to be a more aggressive option. Left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak, who played his last Test in February 2014, has been added to the eleven in place of Sunzamul Islam. The void left behind by Shakib Al Hasan's absence due to injury, especially in the bowling department, needed fixing and Bangladesh have gone for the experience of Razzak, according to espncricinfo.
Bangladesh XI: 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Mominul Haque, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim, 5 Mahmudullah (capt), 6 Liton Das, 7 Sabbir Rahman, 8 Mehidy Hasan, 9 Abdur Razzak, 10 Taijul Islam, 11 Mustafizur Rahman
Sri Lanka XI: 1 Dimuth Karunaratne, 2 Kusal Mendis, 3 Dhananjaya de Silva, 4 Roshen Silva, 5 Dinesh Chandimal (capt), 6 Niroshan Dickwella, 7 Danushka Gunathilaka, 8 Dilruwan Perera, 9 Akila Dananjaya, 10 Rangana Herath, 11 Suranga Lakmal
