Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed was ruled out of the rest of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) matches due to a back pain.

Taskin who was playing for the Sylhet Sunrisers also missed the last two games of the side in the tournament. He played four BPL matches, taking five wickets.

Sylhet Sunrisers officials confirmed the news, saying that the tournament is over for the fast bowler who has been in form of his life.

At the same time, his participation for the limited over series against Afghanistan also looked doubtful. But it is believed he opted out of the BPL to play the Afghanistan series with his full fitness.

Afghanistan will reach Bangladesh on February 12 to play a three-match ODI series and two T20 Internationals. The ODI series is the part of ICC ODI Super League.
