Bangladesh Cricketers To Lose SG Sponsorship Amid Mustafizur Row

By IANS News January 09, 2026 • 18:22 PM View: 193

Kolkata Knight Riders: Bangladesh cricketers could soon be forced to switch bat sponsors after leading Indian sports manufacturer SG decided not to continue its association, amid escalating cricketing and diplomatic tensions between the two neighbouring nations.

The turbulence between the two Asian nations started when IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders released Bangladesh premier bowler Mustafizur Rehman from their squad, following a directive from the BCCI.

After the pacer's release, the Bangladesh Cricket Board first refused to grant a no-objection certificate to Mustafizur for playing in the IPL. It also requested the ICC to shift its matches in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026, which is set to start on 7th February, from India to Sri Lanka, citing security concerns.
