The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) announced on Thursday that pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman will not participate in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 season due to injury management. Following a medical review, the BCB advised him to undergo an immediate medical scan and begin a rehabilitation program. Consequently, the No Objection Certificate (NOC) previously granted to him has been revoked. Additionally, fast bowler Nahid Rana will also not be released for the PSL, as the BCB prioritizes preparation for the upcoming Test series against Pakistan next month. In light of these developments, Bangladesh has announced a new fast bowling lineup for the T20I series against New Zealand, commencing on April 27 in Chattogram. The squad includes newcomers Abdul Gaffar Saqlain and Ripon Mondal, who have been recognized for their performance and consistency.
