Sri Lanka will play a tri-nation series in March 2018 as part of their 70th Independence celebrations, Sri Lanka Cricket chief Thilanga Sumathipalas announced during a media briefing at P. Sara Oval in Colombo on Wednesday (March 15).

The Twenty20 international series will involve India and Bangladesh apart from the hosts. BCCI CEO Rahul Johri and BCB President Nazmul Hassan also attended the media briefing.

The series will be played from 15th March to 31st.

What happened to the 4 nation quadrangular series involving SA and Pakistan ?

This will replace that or in addition to that.
 
Nice to see that The deal is done, With this The BCCI has got the votes for the next month ICC constitutional changes.
 
I thought we were going to be invited too :sree
 
So this is like the Champions Trophy version of the Asia Cup with the three best teams in Asia competing and no minnows invited.

Funny....you say it like Bangladesh has actually ever won anything meaningful....
 
Going to be a tough fight with Lanka to face Bangladesh in the final.
 
Shashank Manohar is forced to resign so that the old unfair model remains and this series gets announced

Sri Lanka & Bangladesh should support the new model, that way Bangladesh will play a series of minimum 2 tests & minimum 3 ODIs every 4 years in India and India will also tour Bangladesh for minimum 2 tests & minimum 3 ODIs every 4 years
 
Pathetic. Bangla supporters pls have some shame. Today's incident has PROVED IT once again that SLCB and BCB r nothing but a lapdog of CORRUPT BCCI.

Cricket would've achieved so much more if the revenue share MODEL WOULD get passed. But looks like it won't because Bangla Board have chosen to work as a ******* of BCCI in return of a single meaningless test against INDIA.

Agree with every word of you though not sure why shashank resign. BCB and others should not support 3 board rule.

Wouldn't this make BCB and SLC corrupt as well? Not to mention utterly selfish.
 
Bangladesh finally getting some well deserved peanuts for towing India's line. Good move by them...I'm sure residents of Dhaka and Chittagong will appreciate the additional revenue that comes with playing India.

Of course they r.

Bangla Board president believes that he's doing a great job by being a Ch@mcha of BCCI and by supporting them. I'm sure he'll learn his lesson one day. Bangla Board have to pay a heavy price in the future for their gaddari.

Absolutely nonsense. What has residents of Dhaka or Chittagong got to do with this. Not that I've any relation with these two cities, but ur post makes no sense.

relax buddy, don't think too hard...Which local population wouldn't appreciate its cricket board getting some extra cents on the dollar?

The problem is that the side which should fight for change is not doing it. I do not blame the BCCI for the current situation. People in power will not voluntarily give it up. They will not want change. It's just human nature.

The push for change has to come from the other side, i.e. ICC and the rest of the boards. But the other side is not just corrupt but also incompetent and totally selfish. That is the reason why cricket is what it is. The blame lies entirely with the ICC and the rest of the boards.
 
Now bcb chairman gave a statement that they will oppose icc reforms as it will threaten their full member status.

Thank u bcb. We will fight together as asian bloc
 
Should have included Pakistan as well yo make it more exciting. But good to see some triangular series. It will be an evenly contested tri series. I hope our main players won't take rest from this tri series just to remain fit for.... :inti
 
So this is like the Champions Trophy version of the Asia Cup with the three best teams in Asia competing and no minnows invited.

We destroyed your T20 team last year with our own, below strength team, not to say that you guys got whitewashed in NZ too while we beat the runner ups in their own backyard and whitewashed the champions.

"No minnows invited":))

:))) :))) The awkward moment when one of my dearest pak friend is trying to feel good by pointing out useless t20 rankings. :yk


Nobody takes t20 seriously since it's for kids. Bangla will easily do better in this format if they take it seriously. The real format is odi followed by tests. :yk
 
World champion Australia is behind minnow West indies in this format. It just shows how utterly unimportant this form of cricket really is :uakmal

what is test ranking of ban and pak
 
He was saying about current situation,not PAST which you love to live on.

Current situation? You got smashed in ODIs away from home while we won a game in NZ and Australia. Bangladesh are also the same team to lose to Afghanistan three times.

You're an okay supporter, don't fall as low as Dios.

If international T20's are for kids then what will you call domestic IPL matches?
 
...

I wish this was true. But without a source....I say a tour in every 8 years.

Yes. I feel I lost something today. Would have loved to see Ireland and Afghans in the test ranks.

Stupidity of highest order but they will come to realise their mistake one day. Suspicious that this gets announced when the whole ICC drama taking place today.

I was just saying that like dios some Pak fans sometimes get overboard. All of them are delusional. You can see that in this thread i also criticized dios for his delusional post. Don't get me wrong.
 
Quad series would have been better than this series. If India are at full strength I think they will win this tournament.
 
In a few years Bangladesh will be as lucrative as a side as teams like Australia, England. With our growing economy and increasing sponsor interest in our cricket, not to mention the level of passion, Bangladesh will be one team to invite if you want revenues.

Infact these days Bangladeshi companies sponsor bilateral series in West Indies, SL and Zimbabwe.

Also with our ever improving side it's a matter of.time. ICC made a tough gamble by giving Bangladesh test status and just recently it's starting to pay massive dividends. Bangladesh alone has greater than combined fan following of England WI Zim SL Aus SA.

Fair enough. I like your posts, no hard feelings.

See what the 9-3 test championship & 13 team ODI league is giving. Over a period of 4 years, all top 9 teams have to play 2 tests home & away and all top 13 ODI teams have to play 3 ODIs home & away with each other over next 4 years. Teams can play additional matches too, but only 1st 2 tests & 1st 3 ODIs will count towards the league

So Bangladesh should support the new structure as that guarantees Bangladesh 4 tests & 6 ODIs against India in 4 years. Maybe more as well
 
Agree with every word of you though not sure why shashank resign. BCB and others should not support 3 board rule.

BCB seems to be too weak :( I really hope Bangladesh fans protest outside BCB office and force BCB to support the new model

Come on Bangladesh fans, u people can save cricket

Agree and want this. Don't know what dumb bcb are going to. But hope every board should support new proposal and try hard to establish it. As far as I know president of bcb said that BCB is with new proposal. Hope this news is right.it is best for world cricket.
 
Of course they r.

Bangla Board president believes that he's doing a great job by being a Ch@mcha of BCCI and by supporting them. I'm sure he'll learn his lesson one day. Bangla Board have to pay a heavy price in the future for their gaddari.

Nazmul Hassan, the BCB president, said the Bangladesh board did not agree with the proposal that a country's Full Membership at the ICC could be up for review. He also objected to the proposed change in the voting system that would decentralise the power held by the Full Members boards.
Hassan, however, said the BCB had no objection to the new revenue distribution model proposed since the board felt it stood to benefit more than it did under the Big Three model.
"Three days before we came here, we have informed the ICC that we do not agree with two specific things," Hassan said in Colombo, where he along with BCCI chief executive Rahul Johri was present to watch the opening day of Bangladesh's 100th Test. "One of them is relegation: we said we don't agree with a Full Member going down. Zimbabwe might be getting demoted but it might be someone else another time. We said that the Full Membership status cannot be changed at all.
"The second is voting rights … they are taking new independent directors, increasing the number of Associate members, weightage distribution is being changed. We have to understand this better, so we cannot approve this so quickly. We want to know Bangladesh's position in this regard.

"We didn't oppose the financial reforms but there were parts of the constitutional changes that we had opposed. When these came up in the last meeting, there were things that didn't go with us. In the next meeting, these will come up item-wise, and we will vote on them item-wise too. A lot of those present had told me to refuse the whole thing but I said that if Bangladesh is getting more money, why should I refuse? I have to look at BCB's interest."
 
BCB seems to be too weak :( I really hope Bangladesh fans protest outside BCB office and force BCB to support the new model

BCB isn't weak but it's smart.
BCB is not focusing extensively on international cricket but in the grassroot levels. While doing so best not to get in the nerves of anyone else

The Moto is that if you unearth good young players you will improve.

Our new gen players Sabbir Mosaddek Soumya Fizz Taskin Taijul Miraz Liton Shanto all who have debuted recently are a good bunch of youth cricketers and with experience they will improve. For now BCB is focusing on improving slowly and we wouldn't need any obligatory system to get other teams to play against us. I see no point in playing hundreds of matches right away. I believe in merit based system
 
So this is like the Champions Trophy version of the Asia Cup with the three best teams in Asia competing and no minnows invited.

Think you misunderstood the OP. It says that Bangladesh ARE invited :inzi
 
Good to finally see a Triangular series, gives more meaning to the games.
