Sujon roots for Taskin as T20 captain
5 Apr 25
The Lucknow Super Giants of the Indian Premier League (IPL) wanted Taskin Ahmed to replace Mark Wood for the upcoming season. Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) was approached about the speedster's availability.
Taskin's NOC was rejected by BCB because the team wanted him to stay in South Africa for the final ODI and two Tests later this month and Taskin agreed to the decision.
On Tuesday, BCB President Nazmul Hassan Papon stated to the media that a player cannot leave the team during a series. He can participate in the IPL, if he wants after the series ends.
Nazmul further mentioned he can even take a leave from the Sri Lanka Test series if he wants to play in IPL.
"We have no problem letting him play in IPL, but not during the middle of the series. We have talked with him. He can go after the series, even he can take a leave from the Sri Lanka series if he wants. But no way we can let him go in the middle of a series," Nazmul said.
