Shakib-Liton-Mustafiz suddenly in Dhaka, the topic of IPL!
The Indian Premier League (IPL), the busy season of franchise cricket, is starting on March 31. Three cricketers are scheduled to play for the first time from Bangladesh in this mega tournament. Along with Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, Tiger opener Liton Das got the team for the first time. But due to the ongoing Ireland series, their participation in the IPL is in jeopardy.
As Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has not given permission for IPL, it is not certain when they will join their team. The board wants cricketers in the only Test against the Irish at home. That's why Shakib-Litton are not getting permission to play in IPL at the beginning. However, recently there are rumors that BCB has withdrawn from their stubborn decision towards cricketers.
If this happens, Bangladeshi cricketers will be able to play from the beginning of the 16th season of IPL. Therefore, Shakib-Lyton-Mustafiz returned to Dhaka after the second T20 match against Ireland yesterday to prepare for the IPL. BCB media manager Rabid Imam confirmed this.
They will join the party in Chittagong again on Thursday (March 30). It is believed that all the three cricketers have gone to Dhaka to complete the visa process for India. In this year's IPL, Shakib and Liton got a chance to play in Kolkata and Mustafizur Rahman in Delhi.
Meanwhile, there are rumors that it will be decided today when Shakib-Liton will catch the flight to Kolkata. In that case, there is a possibility of a meeting with the board's upper echelon.
But while Shakib-Litton has hurdles to go to IPL, there is no such hurdle for Mustafiz. Because Tiger can go to IPL at the specified time as this pacer is not in red ball cricket.
The 16th IPL season is going to start tomorrow. Also tomorrow is the last T20 match against Ireland. Then the test will start from April 4.
