Bangladesh all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz has joined Lahore Qalandars for the playoffs stages in the PSL 2025 season.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has issued a NoC for Mehidy Hasan Miraz and is scheduled to Lahore by Tuesday.
The PSL playoffs kick off on Wednesday, with the Qalandars set to compete in the Eliminator Thursday though their opponent is yet to be confirmed.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz has expressed excitement about the opportunity in the PSL 2025 season.
“Of course, it is exciting for me to join Lahore Qalandars. It is technically the second time I have been called up to a franchise league. Nonetheless, it is a good opportunity for me to compete at a very high level. PSL is one of the top tournaments going around. I have done well in the past in the BPL, so I am confident that I can give my best,” said Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
He also expressed his desire to use this opportunity to return to Bangladesh’s T20I setup. He has not been included in the squad for the T20I series against United Arab Emirates in Sharjah.
“I can get myself up to the mark in T20s, so that I am prepared for the selection opportunities ahead. Definitely, I want to get back into the Bangladesh (T20I) team, and this is one of the ways I can improve myself in the format,” he said.
PSL 2025 has been resumed after a pause due to border tensions between India and Pakistan, Qalandars managed to bring back Sikandar Raza. However, he was available for just one match before joining the Zimbabwe squad for their one-off four day Test against at Trent Bridge.
With David Wiese and Sam Billings opting not to return to Pakistan, Qalandars brought in Shakib and Bhanuka Rajapaksa for the tournament’s crucial final stages.
Rishad Hossain has also featured for Qalandars while Nahid Rana represented Karachi Kings. Meanwhile Litton that was also part of the Kings’ squad earlier in the season, but had to leave after sustaining an injury.
