Delhi:Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is hoping to play in IPL once again. He has registered his name for the mini auction of IPL 2027. Earlier, due to deteriorating relations between India and Bangladesh, he did not get a chance to play in IPL 2026. On the instructions of BCCI, Kolkata Knight Riders also released him from their team. According to India Today report, Mustafizur has registered for the upcoming auction.

Mustafizur would like to return to IPL with a new team this time. Apart from him, many other players of Bangladesh have also given their names for the mini auction. Bangladesh Cricket Board's Cricket Operations Chairman Shahryar Nafees has confirmed this.

These 6 players of Bangladesh also got registered

According to Shahryar Nafees, apart from Mustafizur, Nahid Rana, Rishad Hussain, Hasan Mahmood, Tauheed Hriday, Taskin Ahmed and Shariful Islam have also registered for the mini auction of IPL 2027.

Nafees said, 'This is a normal process for IPL mini auction. BCCI has contacted all the cricket boards and asked for the names of those players who want to participate in the auction.

He further told that along with Mustafizur, these six players have also registered their names.

Mustafizur was sold for 9.20 crores

Mustafizur Rahman was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 9.20 crore in the IPL 2026 auction. With this price he became the most expensive Bangladeshi player in IPL history. However, later in view of the situation, BCCI directed KKR to release him.

BCCI had cited recent developments behind its decision. After this, KKR confirmed that it has followed the instructions of the board and the team has been allowed to include another player in his place. This decision came out on January 3.

Controversy increased after the release of Mustafizur

After the decision to release Mustafizur from KKR, tension had increased between the Board of Control for Cricket in India and BCB. At that time, there was an atmosphere of resentment in the country after the news of attacks on Hindu minorities of Bangladesh in India.

Citing security reasons, Bangladesh Cricket Board had refused to send its team to India for the T20 World Cup. The board had also demanded the International Cricket Council to hold its matches in Sri Lanka. After this Bangladesh withdrew its name from the tournament. Now it remains to be seen which teams bet on Mustafizur and other Bangladeshi players in the mini auction of IPL 2027.
