No BAN players play in IPL, except Shakib and Mustafiz. And the BCB might prevent Fizz from playing in the IPL because he's gotten injured in every IPL so far. WC is coming up just a couple weeks later. But in reality, BD has very few T20 players good enough. Mushfiq and Riyad are probably the only ones, and even they aren't consistent in this format.sam_ahm wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 2:48 pmOnly person who might get picked up in my opinion is Sikandar Raza, being an all rounder he brings a lot of value to the franchise picking him. Brendan isn't exactly a T20 player, so I don't see him attracting much interest.
There is a second side to this though, I see England and Pakistan playing ODI Series in May, while Aus have also announced their players won't play the IPL in May. Now I see WI and BAN also playing against IRE in may... So that could mean, may be, some franchises showing interest in Brendan and Sean Williams. Just an outside chance though.
You are right, it surprises me that Tamin goes unpicked so often because he is one of the best LOI playets in the world, far better than unknown crap foriegn players that the franchises pick and who go on to fail miserably.Kriterion_BD wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 8:48 pmNo BAN players play in IPL, except Shakib and Mustafiz.

Tamim, Mushy, and Riyad aren't the most consistent players in T20s and perhaps thats the reason. But you are right, they are certainly better than a good number of players in the IPL. But because only 4 foreign players can play in an XI, the BD boys may be surplus to demand.sam_ahm wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 1:28 am

Infact players from the subcontinent are likely to do better in IPL than players from outside of subcontinent. Mushfiqur and Tamim are more than deserving. Indian public doesn't like Mushfiqur though, he has a bad image among indian public of being arrogant and anti-indian, could be a reason why franchises don't pick him.
