Bangladesh Bans IPL Telecast Over Mustafizur Rahman's Removal, Government Slams BCCI

  • Bangladesh has banned the telecast of the Indian Premier League (IPL) with immediate effect.
  • The ban follows the BCCI's removal of Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman from the upcoming IPL season.
  • Mustafizur was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders but released on BCCI's advice after protests in India, sparking outrage in Bangladesh.
  • The Muhammad Yunus-led interim government of Bangladesh slammed BCCI for not providing a "rational decision" for Mustafizur's exclusion, stating it "pained" their citizens.
  • This decision comes after the Bangladesh Cricket Board refused to send its senior men's team to India for the ICC T20 World Cup.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh bans IPL telecast and revokes Mustafizur's NOC after BCCI's controversial removal.
