Bangladeshi player Mustafizur Rahman removed from the team

  • Impact of protests by Hindus in India over atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh

  • Board of Control for Cricket in India issues directive to Kolkata Knight Riders

Mumbai – In view of the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh, there had been demands to expel Bangladeshi player Mustafizur Rahman, who was set to play for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has now clarified its stand on the matter. The BCCI has directed the KKR to remove Rahman from the team. Actor Shah Rukh Khan is the owner of this franchise. Rahman had been bought by the team for ₹9.20 crore.

BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia told a news agency that, in light of the developments currently unfolding everywhere, the BCCI has ordered Rahman’s removal from the KKR squad. The BCCI has also stated that if the franchise requests a replacement player, the Board will permit them to sign one.

According to IPL rules, if a team unilaterally removes a player, it must pay the full contract amount; however, if the decision is taken with mutual consent between the team and the player, some resolution can be reached.

In an official statement, the KKR said that as the governing body of the IPL, the BCCI had instructed them to release Mustafizur Rahman from the team ahead of the upcoming IPL season. After completing the necessary procedures and consultations in line with the BCCI’s directions, the decision was taken to release Rahman. As per IPL rules, the BCCI has granted permission to the franchise to sign a replacement player. Further details in this regard will be shared at an appropriate time.

Editorial Perspective

Despite being aware of the ongoing atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh, how did actor Shah Rukh Khan even sign Rahman for the team in the first place? This reflects Khan’s anti-Hindu mindset. Such actors have risen to prominence on the support of Hindus, a fact they repeatedly forget; therefore, Hindus must now duly remind them of this reality.
