RCB pacer Nuwan Thushara is set to miss IPL 2026 after Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) declined to issue him a No Objection Certificate (NOC) under its new fitness policy, reports claimed. RCB had signed the 31-year-old for ₹1.60 crore. Notably, SLC has reportedly made it mandatory for its players to pass physical performance tests to be cleared for franchise leagues.
