Bangladesh Bans IPL Broadcasts, Pulls Out of T20 World Cup Over Mustafizur Row

  • Bangladesh has indefinitely banned IPL broadcasts and promotions, effective January 5, citing "public interest."
  • The ban follows controversy over Mustafizur Rahman's removal from Kolkata Knight Riders, which Bangladesh authorities claim was unjustified and instructed by BCCI.
  • The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) escalated the situation by deciding not to send its national team to India for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
  • BCB cited security concerns for its team in India, with director Khaled Mashud Pilot linking it to Mustafizur's perceived lack of security.
  • The International Cricket Council (ICC) is expected to intervene as Bangladesh is scheduled to play World Cup matches in India.

Why It Matters: Bangladesh bans IPL and withdraws from T20 World Cup in India over Mustafizur Rahman controversy.
