Abahani, who are leading the table, sent a letter to BCB chief MA Aziz on Tuesday.

Tushar is in the squad for Bangladesh's second Test against India starting in Dhaka on Friday and Abahani want the middle-order batsman for the sake of their championship run as the depleted side have been playing in the Super League with just three specialist batsmen due to injury.

Apart from vice-captain Tushar, Abahani skipper Khaled Mashud and all-rounder Mashrafe Bin Mortaza are on national duty. Opener Jahurul Islam is in injury list while Abahani's other international Manzarul Islam Rana died in a road accident last March.

Abahani had to release their stand-in captain Tushar on May 14 with their opening Super League game against Old DOHS half-finished as he was called for the third and final one-day international between Bangladesh and India in Chittagong.
