IPL 2027: Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman has once again registered his name in the auction with the aim of returning to the IPL. He is interested in participating in the mini auction of IPL 2027. After being controversially sacked from Kolkata Knight Riders a few months ago, this is the first time that the Bangladeshi left-arm pacer is going to open the door to return to the IPL.
Controversy surrounding layoff from KKR
Mustafizur was in the KKR team last season. But the franchise was forced to drop him from the team following the instructions of the Board of Cricket in India (BCCI). Controversy arose around this decision. The BCCI and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) were also at loggerheads over the issue.
More Bangladeshi cricketers have signed up for the auction
Along with Mustafizur, several other Bangladeshi cricketers have registered their names in the IPL 2027 mini auction. That list includes Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana and Rishad Hossain. As a result, not only Mustafizur, but several other cricketers of Bangladesh may get an opportunity to play in one of the biggest T20 leagues in the world.
