Delhi Capitals have moved swiftly to add Mustafizur Rahman to their ranks for the remainder of the IPL 2025. The Bangladesh pacer replaces Jake Fraser-McGurk, who will not return to India following the one week suspension. Rahman’s addition could be seen as cover for Mitchell Starc, with the Australian ace unsure of returning to the tournament.
Mustafizur Rahman replaces Jake Fraser-McGurk for IPL 2025
Mustafizur Rahman went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction but returns after Jake Fraser-McGurk opted against returning for the revised IPL 2025 schedule. The Australian opener was reportedly shaken after the events in Dharamsala and opted to stay put in Australia rather than come back to Delhi. The Delhi Capitals saw their game against the Punjab Kings halted midway amid the India-Pakistan escalations. The players were quietly evacuated and made a 10-hour journey via bus and train to Delhi.
The Axar Patel-led outfit moved to sign Mustafizur when doubts remain on Mitchell Starc’s participation as well. Reports suggested that the Australian was unsure following what unfolded in Dharamsala. Furthermore, Australia are set to play the WTC Final on June 11. Should DC reach the IPL playoffs, he would miss the those games.
Rahman is no stranger to DC, having previously spent a couple of seasons with the franchise. The left-armer joins DC for a whopping 6 crore. As per the new replacement rules however, Capitals will not be able to retain him ahead of IPL 2026.
