Masood uz zafar amini: Cricket News & Match Updates

Masood Uz Zafar Amini: Devkinandan Thakur, spiritual leader and renowned 'Kathavachak', whose questioning of a Bangladeshi player in the Shah Rukh Khan-led franchisee in the Indian Premier League (IPL) triggered a huge outcry and led to his ouster, on Saturday, welcomed the Board of Control of Cricket in India's (BCCI) decision to drop him from the T-20 tournament.

Hailing the Indian cricket board's decision, directing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to bar the Bangladeshi player Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL squad, Thakur thanked the BCCI to have paid heed to his appeal.

"We had appealed that Bangladeshi cricketers should not be allowed to play in the IPL. Today, the BCCI has issued an order stating that no Bangladeshi cricketer will participate in the IPL.
