"Players who are coming from outside will be tested again on Monday and only negative report holder will go into the hotel's bio-bubble," he added.

Tigers will play a intra-squad 50-over practice match on May 20 at BKSP, before starting international action on May 23. Rest of the matches of the series will be held on May 25 and 28 respectively.
The series is the part of ICC ODI World Cup Super League and this will be the 3rd series of the event for Bangladesh and 2nd for Sri Lanka.
