Bangladesh have been forced to make two changes for the series against Sri Lanka in March, with Enamul Haque and Naeem Islam withdrawing due to leg injuries.

Uncapped batsman Marshall Ayub will replace Islam, while, Elias Sunny has been called to replace spinner Enamul. The first of two Tests starts on 8 March in Galle.

Bangladesh team physio Vibhav Singh said: "Enamul complained today morning of left hamstring pain. After assessment it was found he has a hamstring tear. This will see him receiving physiotherapy and rehabilitation for about seven to 10 days.

"Naeem has a grade two quadriceps tear in the right leg. He has pain and weakness on testing. He will need to have physiotherapy and rehabilitation for at least two to three weeks."

This news is added to the fact that Shakib-al-Hasan will miss the series too, as he needs surgery on a calf injury.
