BCB set to provide NOCs for all PSL-bound players

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is all set to provide NOCs (No Objection Certificate) to all three of their cricketers -- Liton Das, Nahid Rana, and Rishad Hossain -- to feature in the upcoming Pakistan Super League, scheduled to run from April 11 till May 18.

Wicketkeeper-batter Liton was picked by Karachi Kings while leg-spinner Rishad Hossain and pacer Nahid Rana were picked by Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi from their respective categories of the players' draft, held on January 13.

"The board is positive about the NOCs. All the players will get NOCs. But the board will take decision for how long they will get it," BCB's cricket operation in-charge Shahriar Nafees told The Daily Star on Saturday.

"The board will announce its decision after considering their availability within the next one or two days…Rishad has no international matches [as he is not part of Bangladesh's red-ball squad]. But Liton and Nahid are Test team players. The board will take the decision considering their national commitments in mind," he added.

Bangladesh are all set to host Zimbabwe for two Tests between April 20 and May 2.

Meanwhile, a member of the selection panel said that they would communicate with Nahid's PSL franchise so that his workload management would be maintained during his participation in the tournament.

"Nahid's workload management is an issue. Someone from us may contact them to play him while keeping workload management in mind. We may have a directive for him. Even in Abahani [in DPL], he is not playing all the matches as part of his workload management," said the official about Nahid, who featured in three out of seven ongoing Dhaka Premier League matches for Abahani so far.
