Before the series, Sri Lanka's captain Angelo Mathews was ruled out of the Test matches with a hamstring injury.[7] Rangana Herath was named as captain in his place.[8] Mathews failed to recover in time for the ODI and T20I series, with Upul Tharanga named captain of the team for both formats.[9]
The Test series was drawn 1–1,[10] with Bangladesh winning the second match by 4 wickets. It was their first win against Sri Lanka in a Test match.[11] The victory was their ninth win in Tests and their fourth overseas.[12] The ODI series was drawn 1–1, with the second of the third match ending in a no result, due to rain.[13] The T20I series also finished 1–1.[14]
After the conclusion of the ODI series, Bangladesh's captain, Mashrafe Mortaza, was suspended for one match for maintaining a slow over-rate in the third game.[15] Therefore, he did not play in Bangladesh's first fixture of the 2017 Ireland Tri-Nation Series in May 2017.[15] During the coin toss of the first T20I, Mashrafe announced his retirement from T20Is following the conclusion of the series.[16]
