[4] The tour also featured a two-day warm-up match ahead of the Test fixtures and a one-day warm-up match ahead of the ODIs. [5] The Test series was played for the Joy Bangla Cup in honour of the father of the Bangladesh nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. [6]

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]
