Bangladesh cut number of contracted players

Dhaka: The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) have reduced the number of centrally contracted players for 2018 in response to a dip in the team's performance.

Sixteen central contracts were issued last year but following a board meeting at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium it was announced that figure has been reduced to 10. 

The six players who have lost their central contracts are Soumya Sarkar, Mosaddek Hossain, Kamrul Islam Rabbi, Imrul Kayes, Taskin Ahmed and Sabbir Rahman.

Of those six, it was already known that Sabbir would not be included as he is currently serving a six-month domestic ban for assaulting a fan during a first-class fixture last year.

The BCB also revealed the list of 10 will be increased to 13 in due course, with three rookies gaining contracts.

List of contracted players: Tamim Iqbal, Taijul Islam, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, Mashrafe Mortaza, Mominul Haque, Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain, Mehidy Hasan
