The participation of Bangladeshi cricketers in PSL 10 is uncertain due to a Test series against Zimbabwe. Nahid Rana has requested an NOC from BCB to play, while the board considers his workload. The series overlaps with PSL matches, complicating decisions for BCB regarding player participation.
The participation of Bangladeshi cricketers in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10 is uncertain due to an upcoming Test series against Zimbabwe. Fast bowler Nahid Rana has formally requested a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to play in the tournament, which is under consideration in light of his workload and the series schedule.
Nahid Rana was selected by Peshawar Zalmi during the PSL draft. The team’s final league match is set for May 7, followed by playoffs, with the championship match on May 18. Concurrently, the Zimbabwe cricket team is expected 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. Although this series is not part of the World Test Championship, its overlap with the PSL complicates the BCB’s decision-making.
The BCB is currently evaluating whether to grant Nahid Rana an NOC for the entire PSL season or only for a limited period. Previously, Rana participated in only two out of five matches for Abahani Cricket Team in the Dhaka Premier League as part of his workload management efforts. Additionally, other Bangladeshi players, including Rishad Hossain with Lahore Qalandars and aggressive opener Litton Das with Karachi Kings, have also been drafted into PSL 10.
In conclusion, the participation of Bangladeshi cricketers in PSL 10 remains uncertain due to their concurrent Test series against Zimbabwe. While Nahid Rana has requested an NOC from the BCB, decisions regarding his and potentially other players’ participation depend on workload management and series schedules. This situation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by national boards in balancing domestic and international commitments.
