2 Min Read
Delhi Capitals (DC) have signed Mustafizur Rahman as Jake Fraser-McGurk has opted to leave from the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 due to personal reasons.
A lot of overseas cricketers are in doubt for the second phase of the league, and the Australia batter is among the first few to have pulled out of his plans to return to India. As a result, the left-arm medium pacer has now joined the Delhi franchise for INR 6 crore.
Mustafizur Rahman has so far played 57 IPL matches and has 61 wickets against his name. He has played 106 T20Is for Bangladesh, picking up 132 wickets from the same. Notably, the 29-year-old has represented the franchise previously as well - where he featured for the side in 2022 and 2023 editions of the cash-rich tournament. Apart from DC, the Satkhira-born has also plied his trade for successful franchises like Rajasthan Royals, Mumbai Indians, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Chennai Super Kings.
In his stint with CSK, he was fairly impactful for his 14 wickets in nine games, but had to leave home mid-way as there was a series of controversial calls between the franchise and the Bangladesh Cricket Board. Chennai lost a vital cog of their pace attack in the business end of the league stages and eventually were thrown out of the race for the playoffs that season.
