Some people had criticized Kolkata Knight Riders and team owner Shahrukh Khan in protest against the atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh. The team was being opposed because they had bought Bangladeshi player Mustafizur Rahman for IPL 2026. On the instructions of BCCI, KKR released Mustafizur, after which this controversy is increasing further. Now news is coming that a Meerut based cricket equipment company may end its contract with Bangladeshi players.
After the release of Mustafizur Rahman, Bangladesh Cricket Board called an emergency meeting, in which it was decided that he will not go to India for T20 World Cup 2026. BCB requested ICC to shift its matches from India to Sri Lanka, citing security reasons behind this. Not only this, the Bangladesh government banned the telecast of the Indian Premier League. However, when former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal said that Bangladesh should not take any decision in haste, the BCB director made fun of him by calling him an ‘Indian agent’.

If reports are to be believed, Meerut-based cricket equipment company sponsors many players of Bangladesh, but now it is planning to end its contract with them. According to the report, Liton Das also plays with the bat of the same company. Liton Das is the captain of Bangladesh in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026. Yasir Rabbi and Mominul Haq also use equipment from the same company.
