Taskin to be denied NOC for LPL: BCB source

Due to workload management issues, Bangladeshi strike pacer Taskin Ahmed will not receive a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for the forthcoming Lanka Premier League (LPL).

Taskin received a contract offer to play for Dambulla Aura for the duration of the LPL's current season, which runs from July 30 to August 20, while Towhid Hridoy, a batter, received a contract offer to play for Jaffna Kings for the first three games.    

"Hridoy will get NOC [for LPL], but with the Asia Cup and the [ODI] World Cup approaching, we have to think about Taskin's workload management. Taskin is already playing in a franchise league [Zim Afro T10] and hence he will have to adhere to the required workload management procedures. That's why he will not be given NOC," a source close to the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) told. 

Due to commitments with the national team, Taskin previously had to decline an opportunity to play in the Indian Premier League.
