Bangladesh Batter Ignores National Duty to Play in PSL 2025; Set to Miss Test Series Against Zimbabwe

Former Bangladesh skipper Litton Das has prioritised franchise cricket over national duty. He is set to miss the Test series against Zimbabwe to take part in the upcoming Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2025. According to an ESPNcricinfo report, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has permitted him to do so. A No-Objection-Certificate (NOC) has been handed to the wicketkeeper-batter for the entire PSL 2025 season.

Alongside Litton, the BCB has given NOCs to several players to participate in the upcoming PSL 2025, including leg-spinner Rishad Hossain. However, pacer Nahid Rana has been granted a partial NOC. He will join his PSL 2025 team after the Test series in Bangladesh.

Notably, both Litton and Rishad are in the silver category of the PSL draft. They will represent Karachi Kings and Lahore Qalandars, respectively. Meanwhile, Nahid, who will play for the Peshawar Zalmi, is in the gold category.
