Reports in Bangladesh claimed that Mustafizur Rahman was offered a return to the IPL by the BCCI.
Mustafizur was earlier released by KKR during IPL 2026 after political tensions affected cricket relations between India and Bangladesh.
Some Bangladeshi outlets suggested the offer was made to reduce tensions between the two boards.
BCB President Aminul Islam Bulbul publicly denied these reports during an interview.
Bulbul clarified that he has not had any written or verbal conversations with the BCCI about Mustafizur’s IPL return.
Relations between both boards continue to be strained, with other issues such as T20 World Cup hosting adding to the situation.
