Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is unlikely to participate in overseas T20 leagues during the next two years. In order to preserve the injury-prone seamer for national duty, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have already denied permission for him to play in franchise-based T20 tournaments across the globe.
”I have told him that he will not be available abroad [for franchise based tournaments] for the next two years,”Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hasan said on Friday

”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,” he added.
Since making his international debut in 2015, Mustafizur has already accumulated an unenviable history of various injuries. Whilst playing for Sussex in the 2016 Natwest T20 Blast, he picked up a shoulder injury and was forced to undergo a recuperative surgery. An ankle injury kept him out of the 3-match ODI series on South African soil in 2017.
