Kolkata Knight Riders confirms that BCCI/IPL as the regulator of IPL has instructed it to release Mustafizur Rahman from the squad ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season.

The release has been carried out following due process and consultations, upon the instruction of the Board of Control of Cricket in India.

BCCI will allow Kolkata Knight Riders a replacement player in line with IPL regulations, and further details will be communicated in due course.

While the statement does not directly elaborate on the nature of the controversy, sources suggest that the matter escalated to a level where regulatory intervention became necessary. The BCCI’s involvement indicates that the issue was considered serious enough to warrant decisive action before the season begins.

Mustafizur Rahman, popularly known as “The Fizz,” has been one of the most experienced overseas fast bowlers in the IPL, having represented multiple franchises over the years. His removal is likely to impact KKR’s bowling combination, especially in the death overs, where his cutters and variations have often proven effective.
