The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has issued No Objection Certificates (NOC) to Litton Das, Rishad Hussain, and Nahid Rana, for the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which starts on 11th April, according to Bangladesh’s Daily Sun.
Three Bangladesh cricketers were selected during the player draft for the 10th edition of the PSL, held on 13 January in the iconic Huzoori Bagh in the Lahore Fort.
Peshawar Zalmi selected the emerging pace sensation Nahid Rana, meanwhile, middle-order batter Litton Das and leg-spinner Rishad Hossain were picked by Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandar, respectively.
However, there was ambiguity regarding their participation in the PSL 10 since Bangladesh is set to host Zimbabwe for a two-match Test series from April 20 to May 2.
The Daily Sun cited BCB officials regarding the player’s availability, stating that Rana will be partially available for the tournament, while Rishad and Litton have granted NOCs for the entire season.
