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 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.

Bangladesh Cricket Board had demanded that their matches in the T20 World Cup 2026 be shifted from India to Sri Lanka, which has been rejected by the ICC. The final decision on this will be taken on January 10. BCB is taking a tough stance after the release of Mustafizur Rahman by KKR. Now after the ICC rejected the demand, there is a possibility that Bangladesh will withdraw from the T20 World Cup.

Relations between India and Bangladesh have not been good for quite some time. The murder of two Hindu youths in Bangladesh further increased this, which led to protests in India. More incidents of atrocities against minorities came to light in the neighboring country. After this, KKR and team owner Shahrukh Khan started being criticized in India because they had bought Bangladeshi player Mustafizur Rahman for Rs 9.20 crore.

Seeing the growing protest, BCCI directed KKR to release Mustafizur Rahman. Giving this information in its statement, KKR said that it will announce the replacement in the coming days. However, Bangladesh also took several steps in protest.

Bangladesh government banned the telecast of IPL. Making a demand to ICC, Bangladesh Cricket Board said that their matches should be shifted from India to Sri Lanka. Let us tell you that T20 World Cup 2026 will be organized in India and Sri Lanka, but all the matches of Bangladesh are to be held in India.

Bangladesh will play all group stage matches in India

Although a final decision is yet to be taken on BCB’s demand, it is clear that ICC will definitely refuse to reschedule the tournament. Bangladesh has to play 3 matches of its group stage in Kolkata and 1 match in Mumbai.

What will happen if Bangladesh withdraws from T20 World Cup?

If Bangladesh decides to withdraw from the T20 World Cup 2026, then some other team can be included in its place. The same thing happened in the 2016 Under-19 World Cup, when Australia refused to go to Bangladesh. Then Ireland played in the tournament instead of Australia. However, Bangladesh has not taken any such decision yet. But the Bangladesh team for the T20 World Cup was announced only after KKR released Mustafizur Rahman, so its possibility is less. But the way BCB is showing its attitude, it is not impossible.

Mustafizur Rahman has decided to play in the Pakistan Super League after being released by Kolkata Knight Riders. KKR had bought him for Rs 9.20 crore in the auction held for IPL 2026, but after growing protests in India, on the instructions of BCCI, the franchise released the Bangladesh fast bowler. Let us tell you that even if Mustafizur gets the highest amount of PSL, it will not be even half of the amount decided by KKR.

There was a tough competition in the IPL 2026 auction to buy Mustafizur Rahman, when his price crossed Rs 9 crore. Apart from KKR, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals were also showing interest in buying him. Recently, there were demonstrations in India against the killing of Hindu youth in Bangladesh. KKR and team owner Shahrukh Khan started being criticized because they had bought the Bangladeshi player for a huge amount of Rs 9.20 crore.

After increasing protests, BCCI directed KKR to release Mustafizur. After this Bangladesh banned IPL telecast in its country. Mustafizur got his name registered for Pakistan Super League 2026.

What will be Mustafizur Rahman’s PSL 2026 salary?

Unlike IPL, there is no auction in PSL, rather a draft system is used there. Mustafizur Rahman can be sold in the platinum category in PSL, which is the highest category in this league. Mustafizur is a world class bowler, who recently completed his 400 T20 wickets. If he also gets Platinum, the highest category of PSL, then his salary will be Rs 2.57 crore (Indian currency). KKR had bought him for more than 3 times its price. Let us tell you that franchises can choose maximum 3 platinum players.

PSL 2026 draft categories and their prices

• platinum- Rs 2.42 crore to Rs 2.70 crore
• Diamond- About Rs 1.21 crore
• Gold- around 90 lakh rupees
• Silver- around 45 lakh rupees
• Emerging- around 18 lakh rupees
• Supplementary- around 9 lakh rupees

Mustafizur Rahman was recently released by Kolkata Knight Riders from IPL 2026, the franchise did this on the instructions of BCCI. After this, Bangladesh Cricket Board has decided not to send its team to India for T20 World Cup 2026, a meeting of ICC and BCB is also to be held regarding this. Amidst all this, Mustafizur has registered his name in Pakistan Super League.

Mustafizur Rahman was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 9.20 crore in the auction held for IPL 2026, his price was so high because other teams (CSK, DC) were also ready to pay a big amount for him. Recently, the impact of the protest against the killing of Hindu youth in Bangladesh reached cricket. KKR and team owner Shahrukh Khan started being criticized for buying the Bangladeshi player, after which KKR released him on the instructions of BCCI. Now he will be seen playing in Pakistan Super League.

Return to PSL after 8 years

Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur will now play in Pakistan Super League. It was informed by the league that he has registered his name for PSL 11. The Bangladeshi bowler played his last PSL in 2017/18.

Talking about IPL, Mustafizur has been playing since 2016. He made his debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad. In 2018 he played for Mumbai and in 2021 for Rajasthan Royals. After this, played for Delhi Capitals in 2022 and 2023 and Chennai Super Kings in 2024. Last year, he became a part of Delhi Capitals as a replacement.

Ban on IPL telecast in Bangladesh

After the release of Mustafizur by KKR, the Bangladesh government has decided to ban the telecast of Indian Premier League matches. BCB also called an emergency meeting after this, in which it was decided that it will not send its team to India for the T20 World Cup 2026.

Let us tell you that Bangladesh has to play 3 out of 4 matches of its group stage in Kolkata and 1 match in Mumbai. BCB wants their team’s matches to be shifted to Sri Lanka. However, it is very difficult to change the schedule one month before the start of the tournament.

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 showed mirror to Bangladesh

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.

On January 3, on the instructions of BCCI, Kolkata Knight Riders released Mustafizur Rahman. He was bought by KKR for Rs 9.2 crore in the IPL 2026 auction. A cricketer who played with Rahman in the Bangladesh Premier League has made a big revelation that Mustafizur Rahman was heartbroken after hearing the news of his release by Knight Riders.

The very next day after being released by KKR, Mustafizur Rahman performed strongly for Rangpur Riders in BPL and played an important role in his team’s 5-wicket win. Now Mustafizur Rahman’s teammate Nurul Hasan, who plays for Rangpur Riders, has made a big revelation.

Mustafizur Rahman was broken

Nurul Hasan, who captains Rangpur Riders in BPL, said that Mustafizur Rahman is a world-class bowler for the team and he has been proving this for a long time. Hasan said that everyone has faith in Rehman and he does not need to prove anything.

Nurul Hasan further said that Mustafizur Rahman is calm and comfortable right now, but he may be a little disappointed after being released from KKR. Hasan said that Rahman fully deserves whatever he has now and he always wants to give his best for Bangladesh. But the Rangpur Riders captain also revealed that the news of his release from KKR had broken Mustafizur Rahman.

Let us tell you that the series was to be played between India and Bangladesh in the year 2025, which was postponed.

‘We welcome everyone in India…, whatever is happening in Bangladesh is wrong…’, Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement on the controversy; Know what was said

A political debate has erupted between India and Bangladesh over the name of fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman. Earlier, on the instructions of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Kolkata Knight Riders had released Mustafizur Rahman, in response to which the Bangladesh Cricket Board has refused to send its team to India for the T20 World Cup 2026.

BCB has refused to send its team to India citing security reasons, but there is no truth in it, because India has repeatedly organized successful international tournaments and proved that it is capable of providing not only security but also better facilities. Apart from all this, the internal situation of Bangladesh appears very bad, because the country’s legendary cricketer Shakib Al Hasan is forced to stay out of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh should look into its own affairs

Whoever talks about Bangladesh’s security system should first look into his own affairs. Minorities are being oppressed all over the country, but even the majority and famous personalities are not safe there. Here we are talking about Shakib Al Hasan, who has been seriously accused of being involved in the murder of a student. The allegations against Shakib Al Hasan appear to be baseless, because when the incident happened with the student, Shakib was busy in a T20 league in Canada. Despite this, FIR was registered against him.

It was on August 5, 2024, when a protest march took place on the Ring Road, in which a student named Rubel also took part. At that time, there was firing on the crowd coming in the protest march, regarding which it was claimed that this firing was a well-planned conspiracy. Rubel was killed in this firing. Shakib Al Hasan, former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 156 people were accused in the case of his death.

Sadhguru Riteshwar Maharaj is blessing people with his Katha in the Rashtrakatha running from January 1 to January 8 at Nandani Niketan under the direction of former WFI Chief of Gonda Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. BJP ministers are continuously participating in the national story. BJP MP Jagdambika Pal has also arrived to join this story. After joining BJP MP Jagdambika Pal in Rashtra Katha, she has reacted about Bangladeshi player in Shahrukh Khan’s team.

During this he said that I do not consider this thinking of actor Shahrukh Khan to be better. This is not appropriate in the national interest. Looking at the current developments, they should definitely not take Bangladeshi players.

What did the MP say about the Bangladeshi player?

Regarding the atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh and Shahrukh Khan hiring a Bangladeshi player, Jagdambika Pal said that the way the events in Bangladesh happened today, the whole world is against Bangladesh. Regarding Bangladesh, the way the Indian government summoned their High Commissioner.

He further said that even the Foreign Minister of India himself went and Mohammad Yunus had to say that we will provide security to our minority Hindus. This is the pressure of India today, no one can ignore India.

Jagdambika Pal lashed out at the opposition

Regarding the Baati Chokha program organized by SP supremo Akhilesh Yadav, Jagdambika Pal said that I think that when he talks about family, he talks the most about PDA, so what is his PDA. If their national president was Mulayam Singh then today the national president is Akhilesh Yadav.

He further said that what is the PDA of Congress, if there was Indira Gandhi, there was Jawaharlal Nehru, there was Sonia Gandhi and then there is Rahul. So it is clear that whether they talk about family or PDA, it is just an artificial show.

Akhilesh’s PDA heavily targeted

PDA If you say it in true sense then Pankaj Choudhary is an example of PDA. BJP President of Uttar Pradesh has been appointed on PDA. So now if Akhilesh Yadav does not have any agenda. Wake up every morning and tweet on something.

He said that I think these people had no issue in the Lok Sabha except SIR. And after that there was a discussion on Vande Mataram on which Home Minister Amit Shah started replying and walked out. Shafiqur Rahman Burke of his party also opposed Vande Mataram. He did not stand on Vande Mataram and went out.

Karan Bhushan welcomed into the story

BJP MP from Kaiserganj Karan Bhushan Singh welcomed Jagdambika Pal at Nandani Niketan in Gonda. Jagdambika Pal participated in the Rashtra Katha Mahotsav for about an hour and listened to the story told by Sadhguru Riteshwar Maharaj about the upliftment of the nation and the upliftment of students.

Retaliated on Rahul Gandhi’s statement

Countered the statement given by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on the death of 15 people in Indore. He said that Rahul Gandhi is giving such statements. What happened there today is that the Municipal Corporation Commissioner was removed. How many people have been suspended and strictest action should be taken. He further said that if I can tell in one line the mentality of Rahul Gandhi, if he goes to Colombia or goes abroad, then he only criticizes India by going abroad.

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.
