Bangladeshi cricketers’ participation in PSL 10 is uncertain due to a Test series against Zimbabwe. Nahid Rana has requested a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the BCB, which is evaluating workload in light of the upcoming series. Other players such as Rishad Hossain and Litton Das are also participating in PSL 10.
The involvement of Bangladeshi cricketers in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 has raised significant concerns due to a scheduling conflict with a Test series against Zimbabwe. Fast bowler Nahid Rana has made a formal request to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to participate in the PSL, which the board is currently reviewing considering his workload and the impending series with Zimbabwe.
Nahid Rana has been acquired by Peshawar Zalmi during the PSL draft, with their last league match slated for May 7, followed by qualifiers and eliminators before the final on May 18. Concurrently, Zimbabwe’s national team is set to arrive in Bangladesh on April 15, with the first Test commencing on April 20 in Sylhet and the second on April 28 in Chattogram.
The complexity of BCB’s decision is further heightened by the fact that, although the Test series does not form part of the World Test Championship, the overlapping schedules pose a challenge. The board is currently weighing whether to issue an NOC for Nahid Rana for the entire PSL season or for a specific segment.
Nahid Rana’s participation in the Dhaka Premier League has thus far seen him play only two out of five matches, aligned with his workload management strategy. Additionally, he is not alone in his PSL selections, as Lahore Qalandars have chosen Rishad Hossain, and Karachi Kings have drafted the aggressive opener Litton Das.
In summary, the participation of Bangladeshi cricketers, particularly Nahid Rana, in PSL 10 remains uncertain due to a conflict with an upcoming Test series against Zimbabwe. The BCB’s evaluation of workload and timing is critical as they consider whether to grant NOC for the entire PSL or a specific time frame. The complexity of this situation underlines the challenges faced by players balancing domestic and international commitments.
