The Indian Premier League`s (IPL) new franchise Lucknow Super Giants have expressed their interest in roping in Taskin Ahmed as a replacement for Mark Wood but Bangladesh Cricket Board official said the board is reluctant to give a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) to their pacer.

"Since we have two important series like the ongoing tour of South Africa and the home series against Sri Lanka, we feel it won`t be right for him to take part in the IPL," BCB Cricket Operations Chairman Jalal Yunus was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
