Indian media reports claim that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) directed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to release Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman from their Indian Premier League (IPL) squad, though the matter was never discussed in any official board meeting. According to The Indian Express, senior BCCI officials made the decision unilaterally, and even members of the IPL governing council were unaware until the news appeared in the media. Attempts to contact BCCI secretary Debajit Saikia for clarification were unsuccessful.
Saikia later confirmed that KKR had been instructed to release Mustafizur, who was signed for 9.2 crore rupees. The decision triggered strong reactions in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) refused to send its team to India for the upcoming T20 World Cup, citing player safety concerns. Additionally, Bangladesh’s Information Ministry decided to suspend IPL broadcasts in the country.
The controversy continues to grow as questions remain about the decision-making process within BCCI and its implications for Bangladesh-India cricket relations.
