As per reports, LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir called in Dhaka on Sunday evening and proposed an IPL contract for the 26-year-old pacer. Ahmed has until Monday to declare his decision.
Taskin Ahmed, however, is currently on a South Africa tour. The tour will continue till 4th April 2022. So, in order to play in IPL, he would have to miss the two tests against South Africa.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has confirmed that they will not give the NOC to Taskin Ahmed to take part in the IPL. As we all know that national duty is more important.
“Since we have two important series like the ongoing home tour of South Africa and the home series against India, we feel it won’t be right for him to take part in the IPL,” BCB cricket operations chairman Jalal Yunus said.
Official confirmation is yet to come from LSG and Taskin Ahmed.
