Afif Hossain, the Bangladeshi cricketer, had to miss the Global T20 League in Canada due to visa issues, preventing him from traveling to the country. Despite obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Bangladesh Cricket Board, the 23-year-old encountered complications with his visa, which resulted in his withdrawal from the franchise tournament.

“Afif was granted an NOC, but he couldn’t travel due to visa-related complications,” revealed a source from the BCB to The Daily Star.

Afif was all set to represent Surrey Jaguars alongside Liton Das in the tournament. The team is currently in contention for the playoffs, holding a top-four position in the standings with two games remaining.
