    BCCI Has Instructed KKR To Release Bangladesh Pacer Mustafizur Rahman: Devajit Saikia

    Kolkata Knight Riders: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia said that the board has formally asked Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to release Bangladesh pace spearhead Mustafizur Rahman from their squad ahead of the IPL 2026 season, ending weeks of controversy surrounding the high-profile signing.

    Amid reports of violent acts against members of the Hindu community in Bangladesh in December, critics expressed their disapproval of Rahman's participation in the IPL. This issue became a political and social concern beyond cricket.

    “The BCCI has instructed KKR to release Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman from their squad, while also allowing the franchise to name a replacement,” BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told IANS.
