The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon hinted that Shakib Al Hasan and other Bangladeshi players would not be allowed to play the Lankan Premier League (LPL), reports BSS
The players would have to take part in the country's domestic cricket, he said.
The BCB boss however indicated that Shakib would have to play the domestic league instead of LPL.
When asked whether Shakib would be given NOC (No Objection Certificate) to play the LPL, Papon said: "We will start the league and the game is starting here."
The announcement came shortly after Bangladesh's tour of Sri Lanka for a three-match Test series was postponed.
Shakib who is currently serving a ban imposed by the ICC last year in October, is set to go under the hammer for the LPL auction. Apart from him, some other Bangladeshi players were also set to be a part of the league even though Sri Lanka is still in dilemma over the league.
But if the league is held, BCB president Nazmul Hassan Papon doesn't see any possibility of any Bangladesh players' involvement in the foreign league.
When asked whether BCB allows the players to join the LPL, Papon said straightway: "I don't see any possibility."
