Bangladesh stars Shakib Al Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman, and Nurul Hasan are all set to skip the forthcoming edition of Bangladesh Cricket League’s one-day tournament (BCL) and they will instead play in the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2023 which is starting from 23rd November
Bangladesh Cricket Board official Jalal Yunus confirmed.
“Yes, they (the trio representing the national team) will not be playing the BCL one-day version as they will be playing in the Abu Dhabi T10,” Yunus told Cricbuzz.
“They (senior players) will be arriving on November 30 to prepare for the upcoming home series against India. I think playing in foreign leagues will help them to get better in shorter-format cricket. We feel the more they play in such leagues, the more they will learn,” Yunus added.
“Look, we want the national players to take part in BCL’s longer version, so we are planning to hold it when everyone is available and that is the reason, we will be playing it at a suitable time rather than organizing it immediately after the 50-over BCL,” said a member of the selection panel as reported by Cricbuzz.
