Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) by IPL (IPL) Franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) Has been instructed to release Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman. Mustafizur Rahman will no longer be able to play in IPL. He has been thrown out of the league. In such a situation, the question is why BCCI had to take action. After such a big controversy, why did the KKR franchise itself not release Mustafizur Rahman? Here you will get the answer in simple language.

First of all, let us tell you that Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman was bought by KKR franchise for Rs 9.20 crore in the IPL 2026 auction. However, after the recent violence against Hindu minorities in Bangladesh, questions were continuously being raised on KKR and team owner Shahrukh Khan. BCCI was also being criticized. Many big politicians had raised questions on the playing of Bangladeshi players in IPL. Seeing the growing controversy, BCCI now intervened in the matter and directed KKR to release Mustafizur Rahman.

kkr Why didn’t he himself throw out Mustafizur Rahman?

Many people want to know why BCCI had to take action after so much controversy. After all, why did KKR not drop this Bangladeshi player from its team? In such a situation, let us tell you that no IPL franchise can drop any player from the team after buying it in the auction. The player is either unavailable, injured, or withdraws from the league. Once bought in the auction, the franchise does not have the right to remove a fit and available player. That is why BCCI had to intervene in the matter. Only after the instructions of the board, a franchise can drop any fit and available player from the IPL or rather from the team.

Many big questions arose after the ouster of Mustafizur Rahman.

The first question in this is that Bangladesh team has to come to India next month to play in the 2026 T20 World Cup. All the tournaments of Bangladesh are to be held in India only. This global tournament will start from 7th February. In such a situation, will Bangladesh team also not come to India like Pakistan and play its matches in Sri Lanka?, No one has the answer to this right now.

The second biggest question is that many franchises (teams) of Indian owners are also in foreign leagues. Like right now a team of Mumbai Indians is playing MI Emirates in ILT20, in which Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh is also playing. Will he also be dropped from the team now? Apart from this, team owners in many other foreign leagues are Indians. It has only those owners whose teams are in IPL. In such a situation, will they also not keep Bangladeshi players in their team?, No one has the answer to this yet.
