Sri Lanka and Bangladesh's tetchy on-field relationship (remember the snake dance-off?) appears to have spilled over off the field now. First, Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka claimed Bangladesh had only two world-class bowlers (Mustafizur Rahman and Shakib Al Hasan) compared to Afghanistan, who beat Sri Lanka in the opening game of the Asia Cup.
