Mustafizur Rahman has been in the headlines for the last several days, he has been released by IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders on the instructions of BCCI. Although there was no direct fault of Mustafizur, but due to growing opposition the board had to take a decision. Now the question is how much money will the Bangladeshi player get from the IPL team? Let us tell you that KKR had bought him in the auction by bidding Rs 9.20 crore.

Generally, players who insure their contracts get up to 50 percent of their earnings even if they are out of the tournament due to injury. But the case of Mustafizur Rahman is different, he is not out due to injury. A source with knowledge of the matter told The Indian Express that Mustafizur will not get any insurance claim unless he specifically opts for a clause.

Mustafizur Rahman will not get any money

“Players usually get insurance after signing a contract with the franchise. Even if they are unable to come to India due to injury, they still get some share based on their insurance policy. But, in this case, unless Mustafizur has specifically opted for a clause, he will not get any insurance claim,” a source told The Indian Express.

After BCCI excluded Mustafizur from IPL, Bangladesh Cricket Board has also withdrawn the no-objection certificate issued to its player. The report quoted sources as saying that even if the player protests, the concerned franchise (KKR) has a strong reason for not paying the money. “If the NOC is withdrawn, there is no obligation on Kolkata Knight Riders to make the payment,” sources said.

So if Mustafizur Rahman has not given the reason in his insurance claim that he would get a claim even in such a situation, then he will not get any money. The details of the policy are known only to the player.
