Bangladesh Cricketers Mustafizur Rahman And Shakib AL Hasan Looking To Get NOC For Remaining Part Of IPL 2021

The Bangladesh cricketers Mustafizur Rahman and Shakib AL Hasan are likely to get NOC to take part in the remaining part of IPL 2021 and this will be great news to the IPL fans. Mustafizur had a good season for Rajasthan Royals until the IPL was suspended while Shakib AL Hasan just played the off games and had to wait for his opportunity in the strong Kolkata Knight Riders squad.

Both players will play an important part in the T20 Worldcup for their nation and hence, it was stated earlier that both the players might not be available for the rest of IPL with the big tournament preparations. Now, with the postponement of the limited-overs series against England to March, Bangladesh will have ample time to prepare. This has opened a possibility for the Bangladesh cricketers to play the remaining IPL 2021.

Bangladesh Cricket Board Ready to Give NOC

Bangladesh Cricket Board Chairman Akram Khan has stated that they won’t refuse to give NOC to the two players if there isn’t any international commitment. He added that he hasn’t received any official letter related to the international commitment and is likely to take a decision according to it. Shakib and Mustafizur are currently in the Bangladesh squad for the five-match home T20I series against Australia.

”Yes, if they apply and if we don’t have any international commitment they can go and take part in IPL. We are yet to receive any official letter from them in this regard and if we get that, board will take a decision,” BCB Chairman Akram Khan stated.

Bangladesh has taken an early lead of 1-0 in the T20I series and Australia will look to put up some better performances.
