The news on Ebadot has been offset with confirmation that pace spearhead Taskin Ahmed has withdrawn from the Lankan Premier League (LPL) to instead prepare for the Australia tour, where Bangladesh will attempt to improve on their current fourth-place on the World Test Championship standings.
Taskin had been scheduled to feature for the Jaffna Kings at the LPL, but the 31-year-old has decided to do everything he can to prepare for the Australia tour.
“Yeah it is mainly for preparation (for the Australia tour)," Taskin told The Daily Sun.
"We played six back-to-back matches in Zimbabwe, maybe I would have got four matches there (in LPL), after my stint there if I return home and immediately go to Australia my Test match preparation would be hampered, despite a little loss I thought it’s OK."The Australia series won’t come around often, that’s why I took the decision, even after having the NOC, so I pulled out from the LPL."
