Miraz granted NOC to play in PSL for Lahore Qalandars

BSS, Dhaka :

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Monday issued national allrounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to take part in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Miraz who was roped in by Lahore Qalandars was granted NOC to play in PSL from May 22-25.
“BCB has granted Miraz the NOC to participate in the PSL from May 22-25 for Lahore Qalandars,” BCB’s cricket operations in-charge Shahriar Nafees said on Monday.

Miraz was not included in Bangladesh’s squad for the T20 International series against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Pakistan, making him available for the full tournament.

Lahore Qalandars had already secured their place in the Qualifiers after Sunday’s win over Peshawar Zalmi by 26 runs. He will join compatriot Shakib Al Hasan who played his first match for Qalandars on the day.

Shakib was dismissed for a duck and conceded 18 runs in the two overs he bowled.
Legspinner Rishad Hossain and fast bowler Nahid Rana earlier played in the PSL before joining the Bangladesh national team for the UAE T20 series.

Lahore Qalandars will play the Eliminator game in Lahore on Thursday. Their opponent is yet to be decided.
