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After BCCI excluded Mustafizur from IPL, Bangladesh Cricket Board has also withdrawn the no-objection certificate issued to its player.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 “If the NOC is withdrawn, there is no obligation on Kolkata Knight Riders to make the payment,” sources said.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.

IPL telecast banned in Bangladesh

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting of Bangladesh has banned the telecast of IPL matches in its country. BCB has also written a letter to ICC demanding that their T20 World Cup 2026 matches be shifted from India to Sri Lanka.

Mustafizur Rahman has been expelled from IPL, Bangladesh has refused to come to India to play the T20 World Cup. Apart from this, Bangladesh has also banned the telecast of IPL in its country. India and Bangladesh are at loggerheads on this issue, and reacting to this entire controversy, former cricketer Aakash Chopra said that he fully supports BCCI’s decision to release Mustafizur Rahman.

Akash Chopra said in clear words that within the last one year, minorities have been treated cruelly in Bangladesh. He also said that if these incidents are not stopped in Bangladesh, Hindu people will be wiped out from there.

Aakash Chopra has fully supported BCCI’s decision to expel Mustafizur Rahman from IPL. Explaining the reason behind BCCI’s instruction to suddenly release Mustafizur, he said that for this it is important for people to understand the situation in Bangladesh.

This former Indian cricketer said, “For the last one year, cruelty against minorities has been going on in Bangladesh and these days Hindus are being killed. That entire community will disappear, they have already been reduced to half. On our left side, the same has happened in Pakistan. The population of minorities used to be quite large, but now they have almost disappeared. Now Bangladesh is also moving on the same path.”

gave example of pakistan

Aakash Chopra said that it is not Mustafizur Rahman’s fault here, but the incident of 26/11 was also not done by Pakistani cricketers, but the whole of Pakistan had to suffer its consequences. After that Pakistani players were banned from IPL. Akash also said that cricketers need to understand that if their country does wrong, they will personally have to suffer the consequences.
