Recently, the topic of Mustafizur Rahman’s release from IPL has been in discussion. On the instructions of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), KKR had released Rahman. This has so upset the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) that it has demanded to move the T20 World Cup matches out of India. Recently a question was asked to Afghan cricketer Mohammad Nabi on the subject of Mustafizur, due to which the former captain of the Afghan team was seen very angry.

These days Mohammad Nabi is playing for Noakhali Express team in Bangladesh Premier League. During a press conference, a Bangladeshi reporter asked Nabi a question on the Mustafizur Rahman controversy. Enraged at this, Mohammad Nabi said that he had nothing to do with this.

Mohammad Nabi got angry

Mohammad Nabi got angry at the reporter and said, “What does this have to do with me brother? What do I have to do with Mustafizur? What do I have to do with politics?”

Former Afghanistan team captain Mohammad Nabi further said that Mustafizur Rahman is a good bowler, but the kind of question he was asked should not have been asked to him in any way.

The biggest bid was made in IPL history

Amidst the increasing tension between India and Bangladesh, Kolkata Knight Riders had to release Mustafizur Rahman. KKR had bought him in the mini auction by bidding Rs 9.2 crore. This was the biggest bid on a Bangladeshi player in IPL history. In fact, even before the auction, incidents of attacks on Hindus had started coming to light in Bangladesh, despite this, when KKR made such a big bid on Mustafizur, this franchise was heavily criticized.
