Bangladesh pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman will be available for Chennai Super Kings' clash against Punjab Kings on May 1 as Bangladesh Cricket Board extended his leave for one more day for the ongoing Indian Premier League. The left-armer has made a flying start to his CSK stint, picking 10 wickets in 5 matches.

BCB earlier issued No-objection certificate to Mustafizur till April 30 for the IPL, but the board has now allowed him to stay on for one more day to feature in one more game for his franchise.

"Mustafizur was supposed to return after April 30 but now we have allowed him to stay back for their match on May 1st. He is expected to arrive on May 2 for the T20 series against Zimbabwe (from May 3 to 12) and later we are not ready to release him as we want to rest him for a few days before the World Cup," a BCB official confirmed the development to Cricbuzz on Monday.

Bangladesh are scheduled to play a three-match T20I series against USA from May 21-25 to get acclimatized with the condition of USA. Two of their four group stage games at the showpiece event are in that country. Bangladesh have played only twoT20Is in the USA before - against West Indies in Florida in 2018.
