Bangladesh May Lift IPL Broadcast Ban, Is Mustafizur Returning to KKR?

After Mustafizur Rahman was dropped from the Indian Premier League, a lot of water flowed through the Padma. The West Bengal cricket team did not participate in the ongoing T20 World Cup, keeping the controversy alive. That controversy has been going on for a long time. A new government has been formed in Bangladesh. Under the leadership of BNP, the minorities in the West Bengal are also finding hope of living independently. In the meantime, happy news is being heard. Several sources say that the current government may soon lift the ban on IPL broadcasting in Bangladesh. Bangladesh’s new State Minister for Youth and Sports Aminul Haque has already hinted at it.

Will Bangladesh lift the ban on IPL broadcasting?

The day Mustafizur was dropped from the Indian Premier League on the orders of the Indian Cricket Board, Bangladesh was under the rule of Mohammad Yunus’s interim government. The news of Fiz’s exclusion completely angered the then Youth and Sports Advisor of the West Bengal, Asif Nazrul. From there, IPL broadcasting was banned in Bangladesh. This led to the decline in relations between India and Bangladesh.

However, after the formation of a new government led by Tarique Rahman, the new sports advisor of the other side has clearly indicated that the relations between India and Bangladesh will be normalized again. The state minister for youth and sports of the other side, Aminul Haque, has clearly stated that Bangladesh’s goal is to maintain friendly relations with India. According to sources, after assuming his new responsibility, the state minister for youth and sports of the other side, Aminul, met with the Indian Deputy High Commissioner. And after all this, it is believed that the ban on IPL in Bangladesh may be lifted very soon.

Will Mustafizur Rahman play in the IPL?

Kolkata Knight Riders bought the master of the other side, Mustafizur Rahman, for 9 crore 20 lakh taka from the 2026 Indian Premier League auction. It was hoped that he would set the field on fire wearing the golden purple jersey. However, before that, KKR was forced to release the Bangladeshi pacer due to the board’s decision. However, after the formation of a new government in Bangladesh under the leadership of Tarique Rahman, West Bengal is gradually opening up its ties with this country. In that case, if the ban on Bangladesh’s Indian Premier League is lifted, the BCCI may call Mustafizur to the IPL as a reward. In that case, he may be seen again in KKR, that is the hope of Indian cricket fans.
