Bangladesh’s fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman has been granted one more day of leave to participate in the Indian Premier League, thus he will be available for the Chennai Super Kings’ match against the Punjab Kings on May 1. With five matches played, the left-armer has already claimed ten wickets in his CSK career.
Mustafizur had a no-objection certificate from BCB until April 30 for the IPL, but the board has now given him permission to stay an extra day so he may play in one more match for his team.
“Mustafizur was originally scheduled to return after April 30, but we’ve given him permission to stay for their May 1st encounter instead. We want to rest him for a few days before the World Cup, so we are not ready to release him once he is slated to arrive on May 2 for the T20 series against Zimbabwe (which runs from May 3 to May 12).” A BCB official confirmed the situation to Cricket sport on Monday.
Bangladesh will play the USA in a three-match Twenty20 International series from May 21–25 in order to get acclimated to their conditions. At the main event, they have two of their four group stage matches in that nation. Only one Twenty20 International (T20I) match between Bangladesh and the West Indies was held in Florida in 2018.
