Regarding his injury, Taskin said, 'It is very sad for any player to be out of the field due to an injury. It is actually a part of life; especially  for fast bowlers get a lot of injuries.”

“I am elated to be back. I hope I will do something good.”
The ODI series starts on July 2 in Colombo. Bangladesh will play the second match at the same venue on July 5 before moving to Pallekele to play the third and final ODI on July 8.

The three ODIs will be followed by a three-match T20 International series. Bangladesh, however, lost the two-match Test series 1-0.
