Mustafizur to join Khulna squad for NCL tomorrow
DHAKA, Oct 13, 2019 (BSS) – Fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman will join his
divisional team Khulna tomorrow (Monday) for the second round match of the
National Cricket League (NCL), a BCB official said.
Khulna will take on Rajshahi Division in their second match, that begins
from October 17 at Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium in Khulna.
Mustafizur missed the first game of Khulna when they played against
Rangpur Division. The fast bowler, adorably called as the ‘Cutter Master’ was
due to play the game and had already reached the airport to board a Khulna-
bound plane.
But the BCB physic considered him ‘still not fit’ to play cricket and
brought him back from the airport to stay in Dhaka to continue rehab.
However, he is deemed fully fit to play now and was given a NOC to play
the NCL.
“We are hopeful that he will be available for us in the second round as he
was given the NOC. He is due to join the side tomorrow,” Khulna coach Kazi
Imdadul Bashar Ripon said.
“We also expected him to play the first round match but the BCB didn’t
allow him to play. However we have high hopes on him that he would make
significant contribution to team’s victory.”
