Last Updated: 22 Apr 2026
Defending Champions, Lahore Qalandars, have been abuzz with speculations regarding the availability of star pacer Mustafizur Rahman for the ongoing PSL 2026 season. The big news is out and it could be a crucial turning point for the team, so let’s dive into the details.
Mustafizur Rahman Signed by Lahore Qalandars Amid Scramble for Top Players
Signed after being snubbed from the IPL 2026 player auction, Mustafizur Rahman’s arrival in the PSL was long overdue for the Qalandars. Despite losing top players like Shaheen Afridi, Shaubak Abbas and Fakhar Zaman the Qalandars have made quite a move taking the big step to sign Mustafizur.
Regional Tension and National Duty Cast Doubts Over His Availability
Mustafizur Rahman’s availability for the remainder of the season was under a cloud due to growing regional tensions and pending national duties. As you know Bangladesh, his home country was involved with some border rows with some neighboring country and in last two weeks Bangladesh were assigned with National Duties for them. This could have kept him away from the PSL and impacted team strategies, but it now seems like Mustafizur will have to join his fellow-countryman’s PSL side, as the player and team will be getting his services for two weeks before he has to return home due to these National duties for Bangladesh.
PSL 2026: What is an NOC?
For the uninitiated, an NOC stands for ‘No Objection Certificate.’ It guarantees that a player will not be required for national duty, reducing the possibility of his unavailability during a crucial period of the tournament.
An NOC gives relief for the team as they can now be sure that Mustafizur will be available for at least two weeks before he has to return to his national duties. This is huge for a team who has lost many star players, the new signings are really starting to make good impact in their starting games for Qalandars.
Grant of NOC by Bangladesh Cricket Board
According to latest reports from reliable sources, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has granted Mustafizur Rahman with the NOC. This could be a game-changer for his current team, and for the remainder of the PSL 2026 season.
- This pacer has formed a deadly duo with Shaheen Afridi in the Qalandars lineup, and his presence will be sorely missed if he is required for national duty.
- His absence could have weakened the Qalandars attack, making it easier for other teams to target their bowlers.
- In his last appearance in PSL 2026, Mustafizur has picked 6 wickets, with an impressive economy rate of 7.17.
