The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) permitted teams to sign short-term replacements following the week-long suspension of the IPL 2025 season. Delhi signed Mustafizur. However, the Bangladeshi pacer flew to Dubai to join the Bangladesh national team for a two-match T20I series against the UAE.
The BCB wants to make a decision regarding its players’ participation in tournaments while maintaining diplomatic and cricketing harmony with both the BCCI and PCB.
There Is a Thing Called National Commitment - BCB Official
A BCB official said that they are not refusing Mustafizur Rahman’s participation in the IPL with Delhi Capitals, but national duties must be a priority. The official said that releasing Mustafizur could prompt questions from Rishad Hossain and Nahid Rana, who played in the PSL and might expect similar treatment.
"Along with that, if we had released him in that case, what would we have done with the two cricketers who took part in PSL, as they could have asked why we were not releasing them?" he added.
Mustafizur Rahman May Be Released by Bangladesh After UAE Series
The report added that Mustafizur Rahman might be released by Bangladesh after their two-match series against the UAE or after the first game. He can play for the Delhi Capitals against the Gujarat Titans on May 18. The pacer could play at least three group matches and more if Delhi makes it to the playoffs.
Delhi Capitals are in fifth place in the IPL standings with 13 points from 11 matches. They are just one point behind fourth-placed Mumbai Indians (MI), who have played an extra game.
