Bangladesh Star, Who Made Shocking Revelations About PSL, Rejoins Lahore Qalandar Squad
Bangladesh spinner Rishad Hossain has rejoined Lahore Qalandars ahead of their eliminator clash against Karachi Kings in the PSL, scheduled for Thursday in Lahore. Rishad was in Sharjah on Wednesday, where he featured in the third and final T20I of the Bangladesh-UAE series. He played in two of the three matches, with UAE clinching the series 2-1 in Sharjah. He was among several overseas players who temporarily moved out of Pakistan earlier this month when the PSL was suspended due to border tensions. At the time of PSL's sudden suspension, Rishad had revealed that the tensed situations made New Zealand star Daryl Mitchell extremely worried and even made England batter Tom Curran cry. Later, Tom Curran took to Instagram and revealed that he did not cry during that situation. With Rishad's return, Qalandars now boast a trio of Bangladeshi spinners, including Shakib Al Hasan - who has played one match - and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who joined the squad a few days ago. Rishad has already played five matches for Qalandars this season, picking up nine wickets at an average of 16.44. However, he struggled during the UAE series, taking three wickets at a high cost. Qalandars now face some tricky selection decisions, especially in their bowling unit, which features a wide range of options. While Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf lead the pace attack, the choice among the three spinners will be one to watch. Rishad will be available for the remainder of Qalandars' PSL campaign, as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has extended his No Objection Certificate (NOC) from May 22 to May 25. Bangladesh begin their T20I series against Pakistan on May 28 in Lahore, while the PSL final is set for May 25. On Wednesday, Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana and two key members of the coaching staff withdrew from the upcoming T20I tour against Pakistan, citing security concerns, just days before the team's scheduled departure. The BCB confirmed that fielding coach James Pamment and strength and conditioning coach Nathan Kiely will not travel with the squad, as the team prepares for a three-match series in Lahore on May 28, 30 and 31.

'I'm glad to see things resuming, and I pray for continued peace between two very special countries. 'Btw promise, I didn't cry; was ready,' Curran wrote in a 'Story' on Instagram. Rishad too has since apologised for his comment regarding Curran and New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell – who was quoted as saying that he would 'never return to Pakistan again'. 'I'm aware that a recent comment I made has caused confusion and has unfortunately been misrepresented in the media, creating a false perception. It lacked full context and unintentionally overstated the emotions involved. 'I sincerely regret any misunderstanding it may have caused. I've offered an unconditional apology to Daryl Mitchell and Tom Curran,' Rishad said recently. Both the PSL and the Indian Premier League had been put on a week-long suspension due to the recent military standoff between India and Pakistan, which began with the Indian armed forces targeting several terror camps inside Pakistan in response to the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam last month. Both leagues resumed their seasons on Saturday; while the IPL match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders in Bengaluru was washed out completely, Karachi Kings defeated Peshawar Zalmi by 23 runs in Rawalpindi.
