Bangladesh Bans IPL Telecast Over Rahman Exclusion; No Impact on BCCI Revenue

• Bangladesh banned IPL telecast after Mustafizur Rahman's exclusion from IPL 2026 due to demands over minority attacks.
• Rahman was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 9.2 crore, but BCCI instructed his release.
• Experts confirm the ban will have negligible financial impact on BCCI or IPL's revenue, estimated at less than 2%.
• T-Sports holds IPL broadcast rights in Bangladesh until 2027, with payments agreement-bound regardless of airing.
• The greater financial impact is expected on Bangladeshi advertisers, not the IPL.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh's IPL telecast ban won't hurt BCCI revenue, but Bangladeshi advertisers may feel the pinch.
