The pitch at the Shere Bangla National Stadium has been rated "below average" by the ICC for its performance in the second Test between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
As a result, the Mirpur ground has received one demerit point, which will remain on its record for a five-year period.
As per rules, if the venue reaches a total of five demerit points it will be suspended from hosting any international cricket for 12 months, as per a crininfo report.
The Mirpur pitch received a lot of criticism for being too dry and spin-friendly. Spinners took 30 of the 38 wickets that fell in the match.
Match referee David Boon said: "From day one, there was evidence of the ball breaking the surface, which resulted in uneven bounce throughout the match, along with inconsistent turn, which was even excessive at times. This pitch produced a contest that was too heavily skewed in favour of the bowlers, and didn't give the batsmen a fair chance to display their skills."
Last September, the Shere Bangla National Stadium received a 'below average' rating from the ICC for the pitch for the Bangladesh-Australia Test at the venue, and a "poor" rating for its outfield.
