Mustafizur Rahman will not be allowed to play in foreign T20 leagues: BCB

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) President Nazmul Hassan on Saturday said star pacer Mustafizur Rahman will not be allowed to play in foreign T20 leagues.

“It cannot go on like this. He will pick up injuries while playing in the franchise league and won’t be available to perform the national duty. It’s just not acceptable. It cannot go on that he will be undergoing rehabilitation to recover from injuries under the care of the board, join those leagues again only to have a similar fortune,” BCB President was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
