Latest bowling sensation from Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman had a great three months in India, in the World T20 and the Indian Premier League (IPL). He was awarded as the emerging player of the tournament in IPL being a key player in the champions Sunrisers Hyderabad (SL) side.

The 20-year-old is the first foreign player to win the emerging player award in IPL history. He had conceded runs just at a rate of 6.90 runs per over which is the least among those who bowled in at least 10 matches. He plucked 17 wickets from 16 matches.

The left-arm pacer got a huge reception when he returned back home after the IPL helping his side win their maiden IPL trophy. He couldn’t play the Qualifier 2 match against Gujarat. He is scheduled to join English county side Sussex next week for the NatWest T20 Blast and the Royal London One-Day Cup.

But his participation in uncertain, as the Bangladesh cricket officials said they feared the pace bowler may be suffering from burnout. “We will assess his condition before making a final decision on whether he’ll be allowed to play in England,” BCB chief executive officer Nizamuddin Chowdhury told AFP.

Bangladesh national team physio, Baizidul Islam is worried about his recent workload and suggested that he might need some rest to relieve the stress. “We must consider that he played 19 matches in two months after recovering from injuries,” Islam said.

“So there must be some fatigue. He also developed some problems in his right ankle which is creating a problem for his landing after completing a delivery. He needs some rest to remove the stress. If he continues like this he may collapse anytime. We need to assess him carefully to see how long he needs to stay away from cricket,” Islam added.
