Sri Lanka is set to tour Bangladesh in May for a three-match ODI series. The series will be a part of the World Cup Super League.

''Sri Lanka team will come in May to play three ODIs that is part of WC Super League,'' BCB cricket operation chairman Akram Khan told reporters on Wednesday at Chattogram.

Akram also said that the two-match Test series that was postponed earlier stands confirmed, and the negotiation for Sri Lanka's tour of Bangladesh only started after that. ''We are expected to visit Sri Lanka earlier or later (for playing the Test series that was postponed earlier) but the date is yet to be finalized,'' he said.

Bangladesh's tour of Zimbabwe, scheduled in June and July for two Tests, three ODI, and three T20Is, is yet to be confirmed though.

''The Zimbabwe series is yet to be confirmed but we will confirm it shortly,'' Akram said. "We are thinking about rest for our cricketers as well because it is very difficult for them to play continuously while staying in bio-bubbles. It is a big pressure on them and we have to keep that in our mind. So we have to consider that before confirming any tour."
