Mustafiz English county stint delayed further

Sports Reporter

Pace sensation Mustafizur Rahman’s stint with English county side Sussex delayed further after he failed to obtain the UK visa yesterday.
He was scheduled to fly yesterday night subjected to acquire the visa in a bid to take part the Sussex’s match against Hampshire in NatWest T20 Blast at Hove. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) had booked his ticket in different airlines for yesterday so that he can reach in time to make his debut in NatWest T20 Blast.
Officials said the new system of visa processing delayed his journey. He was expected to get the visa in next week, added the officials. Sussex’s next match against Essex in T20 Blast is scheduled on July 21. If everything goes okay, Mustafizur will make his English county debut in that match.
‘The Fizz’ as he was adorably called by the fans, was scheduled to join Sussex in June after signing as their second overseas cricketer for the NatWest T20 Blast and the Royal London One-Day Cup.
But the Cutter Master’s participation was delayed by the medical team of BCB, who feared that the cricketer may suffer a burnout after grueling campaigns in the ICC World Twenty20 and Indian Premier League.
The BCB cleared him to play for Sussex in late June after a rehabilitation process, prompting the paceman to apply for his visa. He is however set to play at least three matches in both NatWest T20 Blast and four matches Royal London One-Day Cup provided he gets his visa in next week.
He will make his Royal London One-Day Cup debut against Gloucestershire on July 24 at College Ground, Cheltenham.
His stint with the county will be lengthened if the team qualifies for the semi-final and final of the tournament. Otherwise his mission in England will come to an end on August 2.
