It is noteworthy that currently the regular captain of Sri Lanka team, Wanindu Hasaranga will not be able to take part in the first two T20 matches against Bangladesh due to the ban.

Some time ago, he had protested against the umpire giving no ball to a ball going above the waist at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, after which the ICC has banned him for two matches. According to ICC rules related to ban, if a player gets four or more demerit points within two years, then these points are converted into a match ban. So in the absence of Wanindu Hasarga, Sri Lanka Cricket Board has added Jeffrey Vandersay to the team as his replacement.
