The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Wednesday that Sri Lanka's visit to Bangladesh has been postponed in view of the global epidemic corona virus. Bangladesh were to play a series of three Test matches under the ICC World Test Championship in Sri Lanka in July.
The ICC wrote on its Twitter handle, "Bangladesh's tour of Sri Lanka next month has been postponed."
