Nabi Shuts Down Mustafizur Controversy Question: 'Don't Have Anything to Do With Politics'

  • Mohammad Nabi refused to comment on the Mustafizur Rahman controversy and BCCI-BCB relations.
  • He was questioned about Mustafizur's release from Kolkata Knight Riders, reportedly on BCCI's direction.
  • Nabi, playing in the Bangladesh Premier League, stated, "What do I have to do with it? How am I related to Mustafizur? I don't have anything to do with politics."
  • Mustafizur's acquisition by KKR faced criticism in India due to strained New Delhi-Dhaka relations and reports of attacks on minorities.
  • The Bangladesh Cricket Board retaliated by revoking Mustafizur's IPL NOC and refusing to travel to India for the T20 World Cup, leading to ICC intervention.

Why It Matters: Mohammad Nabi firmly distanced himself from the Mustafizur Rahman controversy, citing no involvement in politics.
