Sri Lanka's Kusal Perera will miss the T20I leg of the Bangladesh tour due to a respiratory infection. Niroshan Dickwella will replace him, joining the team on Saturday. Although Dickwella last played for Sri Lanka in March 2023, he showcased good form with fifties in his recent List A games. Charith Asalanka will captain Sri Lanka in the absence of Wanindu Hasaranga for the first two T20Is. Asalanka and the team face Bangladesh starting March 4 in Sylhet.
