IPL Controversy: Mustafizur's Teammate Hints at Politics, BCB Seeks T20 World Cup Shift

  • Mustafizur Rahman's KKR contract terminated due to a BCCI directive, sparking controversy.
  • Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) retaliated by requesting T20 World Cup matches be moved from India to Sri Lanka.
  • Teammate Tanzim Hasan Sakib hinted at "political reasons" behind Mustafizur's removal from IPL.
  • Sakib stated players might consult agents next year before submitting names for IPL, if politics interferes.
  • Mustafizur will not receive financial compensation as his release was not due to injury, bypassing typical IPL insurance.
