‘Decision Related Only To IPL; World Cup Not Discussed Yet,’ Says BCCI Prez On Bangladesh Issue
BCCI President Mithun Manhas: The decision made by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to release Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season is limited only to the tournament, with no decision yet on the side’s T20 World Cup games in India, said Indian cricket board chief Mithun Manhas.
"The BCCI has taken this decision after thorough consultation, and Mr Saikia has already conveyed it to the media. The decision is related only to the IPL; we have not discussed the World Cup yet. We will share details once that is done," Manhas told IANS on Saturday.
The development comes after BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said three-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have been asked to release left-arm fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman from their squad for the 2026 IPL following instructions from the BCCI due to recent developments in that country.
