A Sudden Twist on a Travel Day
On a quiet afternoon, exciting news broke for Bangladesh’s fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman. He has been picked by the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Delhi Capitals. The official announcement came from Delhi Capitals’ verified Facebook page and was also shared on the official IPL website.
Mustafizur, known for his clever cutters and swing bowling, will replace Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk in the Delhi Capitals squad. The replacement happened suddenly and caught many fans by surprise.

Flying Just as the News Came In
Interestingly, Mustafizur was at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka when the news came in. He was traveling with the second batch of the Bangladesh national team. After completing immigration formalities, he boarded a flight to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
At the time, Mustafizur was not going for the IPL but for Bangladesh’s upcoming two-match T20 series against the UAE. Later, he is also expected to take part in a five-match T20 series against Pakistan.
Can Mustafizur Play in the IPL?
BCB Yet to Confirm NOC
Now comes the big question—will Mustafizur be allowed to play in the IPL?
For any Bangladeshi player to play in a foreign league, they must get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). When asked about Mustafizur’s IPL participation, the BCB did not give an immediate response.
According to sources, BCB will only make a decision if they receive an official request from all parties involved. That means the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI), Delhi Capitals, and Mustafizur himself must contact the BCB and ask for the NOC.
No Official Request Yet
BCB Waiting for Proper Communication
Until Wednesday evening, no official letter had been submitted to the BCB. Neither the BCCI nor Fizz had made a formal request for clearance. The BCB is waiting for proper communication from all sides before making any decision.
Still, inside sources have hinted that Fizz might get the green light. If the two-match series against UAE and the T20 series against Pakistan are not considered too critical, BCB may allow him to play in the IPL.
What Happens Next?
Awaiting Final Decision from BCB
Mustafizur’s fans will now wait to see if the board grants him permission to join the IPL. If granted, he will join Delhi Capitals, a team that is still trying to improve its performance this season.
Delhi Capitals believe Mustafizur can bring experience and control to their bowling attack. The team has struggled with injuries and player changes, and Fizz inclusion could be a boost.
A New Opportunity for ‘The Fizz’
Could Shine Again on the Big IPL Stage
Fizz has played in the IPL before and performed well. His special skill with the ball has made him a favorite in T20 leagues worldwide. Playing in the IPL again could be a great chance for him to show his talent on one of the biggest stages in cricket.
