The decision was taken following a medical assessment.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has revoked Mustafizur Rahman's No Objection Certificate (NOC), ruling him out of the remainder of PSL 2026 following a medical assessment.
The decision came after the conclusion of the third ODI against New Zealand in Chattogram, with the team’s medical staff evaluating the left-arm pacer’s condition.
According to a report published in Daily Sun, Mustafizur will now undergo scans to ascertain the extent of his issue and start rehabilitation under the supervision of the BCB medical team.
Additionally, fast bowler Nahid Rana has been denied clearance for the ongoing PSL to focus on preparations for the upcoming Test series against Pakistan.
These decisions emphasize the BCB's focus on player fitness management and prioritizing national team duties.
In February this year, Lahore Qalandars had announced Mustafizur Rahman as their direct signing for PSL 2026. He was picked for PKR 6.44 crore (approx. USD 230,000).
Mustafizur was initially roped in by Kolkata Knight Riders for INR 9.2 crore at the IPL 2026 mini-auction. However, as reports of atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh increased, there was growing demand of removing him from the league.
In light if the situation, the BCCI instructed KKR to release Mustafizur and the franchise obliged.
