Sports Desk

Mustafizur Rahman has received permission from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL). After playing one match in the ongoing T20 series against the United Arab Emirates, he will travel directly from Dubai to Delhi.

The BCB stated that considering the request of the IPL franchise Delhi and the player’s interest, Mustafiz has been allowed to join the IPL after playing one match.

As per the schedule, the two-match T20 series between Bangladesh and the United Arab Emirates begins on Monday. Mustafiz will play the first match of this series. After that, he will depart from Dubai for Delhi and participate in the remaining part of the IPL with the Delhi Capitals.

Due to this decision, Mustafiz will not be able to play in the final match of the series against the UAE. However, the BCB hopes that the experience of playing in a major tournament like the IPL will positively impact Mustafiz’s international career.

The Delhi Capitals will be pleased to have Mustafizur Rahman in their squad. The left-arm pacer has previously played for various IPL teams and is known for his cutters and slower deliveries. It is expected that he will further strengthen Delhi Capitals’ bowling attack.
