No Bangladeshi cricketers in PSL this year
DHAKA, Dec 7, 2019 (BSS)-Bangladeshi cricketers are not included in the
upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) this year which raised an eyebrow.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) however confirmed that the players will
be unavailable for the PSL because their home series against Zimbabwe will
coincide with the tournament, supervised by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Usually Bangladeshi players stars in the PSL and performed magnificently
in the past.
As many as 23 players name was listed in the PSL draft for this year’s
auction but no teams showed interest in any Bangladeshi players after knowing
their unavailability.
Tamim Iqbal, Mahmuddullah Riyad, Mustafizur Rahman and Mohammed Saifuddin
was placed in gold category for the auction.
The likes of Mushfiqur Rahim, Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmuddullah
Riyad, Sabbir Rahman and some others also played PSL before.
Even though their unavailability for the tournament was the reason that
there was no takers for them, the Bangladeshi player’s opportunity to play
foreign leagues is getting lesser day by day.
No team from the newly introduced 100-ball cricket by England had shown any
interest to Bangladeshi players as well.
