A huge blow for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as one of their overseas cricketers, Sri Lankan fast bowler Nuwan Thushara, is set to miss the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026) as the cricket governing body of Sri Lanka refused to issue a No Objection Certificate to their star bowler, as per NewsWire
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), in a fresh mandate, mentioned that their cricketers who would pass the fitness Tests will be allowed to take part in the IPL 2026 with their respective franchises. Nuwan Thushara is one of the Sri Lankan players who remained uncertain about playing IPL 2026.
Why will Nuwan Thushara not play in the IPL 2026 for RCB?
On March 26, it is reported that SLC refused to provide a NOC certificate to Thushara, as he reportedly failed to obtain the necessary fitness points. RCB secured the service of a pacer for approximately INR 1.6 crore. In case he remains unavailable for the season, the seamer can miss the contract as well.
Media reports further indicate that the bowler has no injury and is capable of bowling as well. But concerns over his fitness levels, which might not be appropriate for SLC fitness standards, forced him to rule himself out of the 2026 Indian Premier League.
