Bangladesh had a chance to win a Test match against Sri Lanka at home for the first time since the visitors sent an inexperienced squad. However, Bangladesh failed to capitalize on their home ground advantage and lost the BAN vs SL series 1-0 to Sri Lanka. Overall, Bangladesh lost their tenth bilateral Test series to Sri Lanka. The series served as a wake-up call for the BCB to take the necessary steps to improve Test cricket. Here are the five major findings from the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Test series 2022. Major Takeaways from the 2022 Bangladesh-Sri Lanka Test Series Bangladesh’s Test series loss to Sri Lanka was unexpected as most the cricket pundits were convinced that the hosts had a decent chance against an inexperienced visiting side. Sri Lanka had a fresh pace bowling attack, but the spinners were not experienced enough. Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal were not in great form before touring Bangladesh. All these were positives for the hosts, but when it came to actual battle, the Lankans executed their game plans properly during the contest and deservedly sealed the series. Let’s take a look at five significant findings in the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Test series 2022. Read Dhaka Test: Bangladesh capitulate as Sri Lanka win series Angelo Mathews and Dinesh Chandimal still have a lot to offer the Sri Lankan national side Both Mathews and Chandimal were not in great form before the Test series. However, they stepped up and made a difference for the Lankan side. Mathews was the top scorer in the series with 344 runs and deservedly won the player of the series award. His 199-run knock in the first innings of the first Test was the best in the series. Besides, he also hammered an unbeaten 145* in the first innings of the second Test.  Chandimal, on the other hand, played three crucial innings in the series. He formed two crucial partnerships with Angelo Mathews in both matches. His unbeaten 99*-run stand with Niroshan Dickwella in the second innings of the first Test helped Sri Lanka to save the match. Undoubtedly, these two Lankan veterans helped Sri Lanka to clinch the series and silenced their critics who thought they had nothing more to give to the national side.  Read Shakib hits quick fifty as Bangladesh rebuild Sri Lanka have some talented Pacers Prior to the series, no one had thought that Lankan pacers Asitha Fernando and Kasun Rajitha would finish on top of the most wicket-takers chart in the series. Bangladesh's conditions heavily favour the slower bowlers and it was expected that the spinners would rule over the batters. However, the Lankan pacers stunned everyone by picking up virtually every wicket in Bangladesh. These two pacers took 24 out of 29 wickets for Bangladesh. Asitha Fernando finished top of the most wicket-takers chart with 13, while Kasun Rajitha bagged 11 wickets. Their brilliant performances with the ball are a pleasant thing for the Lankan selectors. Mushfiqur Rahim is still Mr. Dependable Mushfiqur Rahim was criticized for not being consistent since the T20 World Cup 2021. His barren run with the bat continued till the end of the South Africa tour. However, Mushfiqur made a brilliant comeback in the Sri Lanka series. He hammered two back-to-back hundreds and became the first Bangladesh player to score 5,000 Test runs. With two brilliant knocks, Mushfiqur proved again that form is temporary but class is permanent. Mushfiqur Rahim is still Mr. Dependable for Bangladesh. Read Bangladesh's top-order fail yet again Litton Das is the best Test batter in Bangladesh Litton Kumer Das has been in outstanding form since 2021. The right-hand batter has been among the top three run-scorers in Tests since last year. He continued his great run of form in the Sri Lanka series as well. Litton made 281 runs in the series, with one century and two half-centuries. With the current form Litton Das has, he is surely the best Test batter for Bangladesh at the moment. Bangladesh have yet to learn the mantra of success in the longer-version format The BCB is trying hard to formulate the best Test side for Bangladesh. The Cricket Board has already taken some steps to improve the country’s longer-version of cricket. However, it is often seen that Bangladesh choke or run out of energy at the crucial stages of a Test match despite being in a good position. Bangladesh need to develop their mental and physical strengths in order to get the desired results in the longer-version format. Read Rajasthan vs Bangalore: Who will Face Gujarat in IPL 2022 Final? Way Forward  The Sri Lanka team has once again shown that Test cricket is not for everyone. It's a game for the elite, and Bangladesh are far from being one, at least for the time being. Bangladesh had more experience and strength than Sri Lanka. However, the Lankans defeated the Tigers in both Tests in the Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka Test series 2022. They had shown everyone how to respond in critical situations. Bangladesh simply couldn't handle the expectations and choked at critical moments in the BAN vs SL series. In other words, they haven't developed enough in the Test format to be able to defeat a formidable opponent. The BCB must put more emphasis on player development in the longer format of cricket to achieve the desired outcome. Read Mushfiqur, the world's best Test scorer!

There's a saying that statistics don't always paint the best image. Though it has become standard practice nowadays to analyze the statistics before a game and plan accordingly. The second Test of the BAN vs SL series 2022 started on Monday (May 23) at Mirpur's Sher-e-Bangla stadium. The statistics on this surface heavily favour spinners. Therefore, slower bowlers will play an important role in this encounter. Let's take a look at the Mirpur ground's bowling statistics in Test format. SBNCS, Mirpur: What Do the Stats Say? While not all of the data will appear to be true in every match, knowing the history of the venue is essential for teams to develop a game plan. Bowlers play a critical role in winning Test matches. As the saying goes, bowlers win games for their teams. A team must take 20 wickets to win a match; thus, wicket-taking bowlers are essential. The ground stats are generally evaluated by the team while developing a game strategy. Which bowlers are best under these conditions? How does the pitch perform on the ground each day? What are the most successful bowlers on the ground? This sort of information assists a team in establishing a starting lineup for the match. Let's get right into the Mirpur ground stats. Read BAN vs SL Second Test 2022: Bangladesh Target Historic Series Win Sher-e-Bangla Stadium’s Bowling Stats in Test Format In the case of Sher-e-Bangla stadium, the spinners always get a special advantage from the surface. Slower bowlers enjoy bowling at this venue because of the sluggish nature of the pitches, whether it is T20 cricket, One-Day cricket, or a longer-version format. In Test cricket, spinners are a terrorizing factor for the batters. Spinners have found more grip and assistance from the surface in the last two days, making batters even more nervous. One can easily understand this by looking into the man of the match awards list in the Test format. Spinners have won more than 50% of the player of the match awards in the longer-version of cricket at the SBNCS. 12 man of the match awards were won by spinners, batters won 6, while pace bowlers won 4 of them. Now the question may arise, why do the spinners dominate the best player awards at the Mirpur ground? To know the answer to it, one has to look at the overall bowling stats and how each type of bowler has fared on this ground.

Prior to the second Test of the BAN vs SL series in 2022, spinners had taken almost 63% of wickets. This figure is enough to incite both teams to include more spinners in their playing XI. Besides, the number of spinners that have been used is more than the pacers. A total of 127 spinners have been used and bowled close to 4,000 overs in 22 matches. Besides, the economy rate is 3.14 for the spinner, which is much better than the pacers. The most successful spinner at this ground is Shakib Al Hasan, who has taken 63 wickets in 30 innings with an average of 32.03.

They have plenty more options in spin bowling than in pace bowling. However, things have improved over the last 2-3 years. Bangladesh has recently produced some quality pacers who have performed well on the international stage. The expectation is that the pacers will also be as dominant as the spinners at this venue in the future. Overall, 94 pacers have been used at this venue and they have maintained an economy rate of less than 3.50, which is good. The Pacers have also bowled significantly fewer overs than the spinners. They have bowled just over 2,500 overs. The most successful pacer at this ground is India’s Zaheer Khan, who picked up 17 wickets in just two matches with an average of 13.94.

They will be much more effective in the last two days when batsmen will find it difficult to survive the pitch. Having said that, the pacers will also play a role in providing the necessary breakthroughs. However, the battle between spinners and batters in the second Test of the BAN vs SL series 2022 will be fascinating to witness.  Read Mominul eyes series win as Dhaka Test begins Monday

Both sides have failed to perform well in the Test format. Some of Bangladesh's prominent players have continued to skip Test series following the post covid-19 phase.

However, this Sri Lankan team isn't as good as it once was, and their recent results have been disappointing. The visitors would face huge pressure from the hosts during the series. Therefore, Sri Lanka's chances of dominating Bangladesh in the next series are slim. Read  Mustafiz should play Tests, not pick and choose: Khaled Mahmud

The Bangladesh Cricket Board named a 16-man team for the longer-version contest on Sunday. The squad includes all of the expected names, ensuring that a full-strength team will challenge the Sri Lankan Test side. Check out Bangladesh's squad for the BAN vs SL series 2022. Bangladesh’s Test Squad for BAN vs SL Series 2022 The BCB named a 16-man squad on April 24 for the Test series against Sri Lanka. Shadman Islam and Abu Jayed Chowdhury Rahi were not selected for the upcoming series because of their recent performances on the international stage. In-form Taskin Ahmed was not selected due to an injury. Oppositely, Shoriful Islam was picked, although his participation in the series will be contingent on his fitness. Furthermore, left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman was not considered for this longer-version contest.

The Major Highlights of the Declared Squad Shadman Islam and Abu Jayed Chowdhury Rahi dropped The selectors decided to leave both Shadman Islam and Abu Jayed Chowdhury Rahi out of the series against Sri Lanka since they have struggled in the recent international Test series for Bangladesh. Shadman Islam has scored 284 runs in his past 14 innings, including a century and a half-century, according to statistics dating back to January 2021. On the other hand, Abu Jayed Rahi has only taken 6 wickets in his last six innings since 2021.

Shakib's mother was ill, and his mother-in-law died of cancer in April. Shakib's inclusion in the Bangladesh squad will undoubtedly benefit the team. Mustafizur Rahman overlooked Bangladesh's most talented pacer, Mustafizur Rahman last played a Test match in early 2021 against the West Indies, and he hasn't played any of Bangladesh's past ten Test matches. Mustafizur Rahman isn't interested in playing the longer-version format, preferring instead to concentrate on the shorter formats. However, Mustafizur's bowling could have been quite effective against Sri Lanka in Bangladesh's conditions. Mustafizur should have been selected for the series by the selectors. Read Mosharraf Hossain Rubel: The late cricketer's major achievements as a player Uncapped Rejaur Rahman Raja included  Pacer Rejaur Rahman Raja was named for the Pakistan series in December but did not play a single international match. The right-arm medium-fast bowler has 36 first-class wickets at an average of 24.61 in 11 matches. Rejaur Rahman's bowling abilities might surprise everyone if he is given a chance to play against Sri Lanka. Bottom Line Bangladesh team is expected to start the series against Sri Lanka as favourites, thanks to a full-strength Test lineup. Bangladesh will be able to overcome a relatively weak Sri Lankan Test side if they play to their full potential. Furthermore, this Sri Lankan squad recently suffered a humiliating defeat in a Test series against the Indian team. As a result, their confidence level would be a little lower when they encounter the hosts. Aside from that, there's a lot to play for, since this will be Bangladesh's fourth bilateral Test Championship contest. Bangladesh's standing in the ICC World Test Championship would improve significantly if they whitewash Sri Lanka. Read Sheikh Jamal, Legends of Rupganj in Pole Position to Win DPL 2022
