With the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2026 nearing its business end, two teams in defending champions Lahore Qalandars and Peshawar Zalmi have been handed a massive setback. With Zalmi already securing a spot in the playoffs and the Qalandars fighting for one, they will miss key players in Nahid Rana and Mustafizur Rahman for the remainder of the PSL 2026 season following the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s (BCB) decision.
On Thursday, April 23, the BCB withdrew the No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) of the two pacers. While Mustafizur Rahman will undergo rehabilitation due to injury concerns, Nahid Rana is set to prioritise Test training. In a statement, BCB informed, “Following the conclusion of the 3rd ODI against New Zealand, the team’s medical staff has reviewed the condition of national team pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman.”
