The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has decided not allow their pacer Mustafizur Rahman to play in the next edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The BCB refused to provide Mustafizur 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. The bowling sensation Mustafizur 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.
