Bangladesh T20I captain Litton Das

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) officials said yesterday that T20I skipper Litton Das and pace bowler Taskin Ahmed will be unavailable for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe as they have been provided No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) to take part in the Lanka Premier League (LPL).

Litton, who will miss the ongoing T20I series against Australia due to a muscle tear, is expected to play in the one-off Test match, while Taskin is expected to be part of the ODI squad, subject to his inclusion in the side that is yet to be announced.

“They (Litton and Taskin) are not part of the Zimbabwe T20Is as they have been given NOCs for the LPL,” Shahriar Nafees, BCB cricket operations in-charge, said on Friday.

“Apart from them, Mehidy Hasan, Hasan Mahmud and Shakib Al Hasan have also been given NOCs for the LPL,” he added.

Taskin and Shakib will feature for Jaffna Kings, while Litton and Mehidy Hasan will represent Galle Gallants in the LPL, scheduled from July 17 to August 8.

Shakib, who is currently playing for Kent in county cricket, is expected to join Colombo Kaps before the start of the LPL.
