Bangladesh Cricket Board have decided to not allow their fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman to feature in the next edition of the Indian Premier League.

The BCB refused to provide Rahman a ‘No Objection Certificate’ (NOC) for the upcoming IPL player auction. The Bangladesh management had decided in June to preserve Rahman this season with the target of keeping him in prime condition for the World Cup in England next year.

Rahman played a key role in Sunrisers Hyderabad’s title triumph in 2016 with 17 wickets in 16 games. This year he played for Mumbai Indians, suffering a hairline fracture on his toe. He was later released by Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2019 IPL auction.

The Bangladesh board had earlier stated they had told Rahman he would be kept away from overseas franchise cricket.

“It’s just not acceptable. It cannot go on that he (Mustafizur) undergoes rehabilitation to recover from injuries under the care of the board, join those leagues again only to have a similar fortune,” BCB chief Nazmul Hassan had said.
