I was hoping I would get the opportunity. Everybody was saying I may be drafted this time,&quot; Mustafizur said on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;Shakib is doing very well (in the IPL). Mashrafe and the others have played too. It feels good that I will be playing there too.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2009, Kolkata Knight Riders bought Mashrafe Bin Mortaza for $600,000 while Shakib Al Hasan was drafted for $425,000 the first time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;I have nothing to say about the price. I never thought about how much I could get. I just wanted to play - that would be a big experience. I&#39;m just happy to get the opportunity,&quot; Mustafizur said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sunrisers Hyderabad have lined up a number of left-arm pacers, including Trent Boult, Ashish Nehra and Barinder Sran.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mustafizur will team up with stars like Yuvraj Singh, David Warner, Eoin Morgan, Kane Williamson and Shikhar Dhawan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">India&#39;s batting great V.V.S. Laxman will be the team&#39;s mentor while former Australian allrounder Tom Moody will be the coach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Earlier, Mustafiz was also drafted by the Lahore Qalandars for $50,000 in the ongoing Pakistan Super League.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But he is not playing in the competition due to a shoulder injury.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The IPL will start off on April 9 after the conclusion of the World Twenty20.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
