Former Bangladesh cricket team batter Rajin Saleh believes that politics and cricket should be kept separate as he weighed in on the ongoing T20 World Cup controversy.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), through its official PSL handle on 'X', announced that Mustafizur will be playing the next edition of the Pakistan Super League even though the players' auction for it is yet to be done.

Mustafizur Rahman was excluded from the Kolkata Knight Riders squad ahead of the IPL 2026 on the advice of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Mustafizur, who was bought by KKR for Rs 9.20 crore at the IPL auction following competitive bids from Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals, had to be let go in the wake of the recent atrocities on Hindus in Bangladesh.

The decision to release Mustafizur was made at the highest BCCI level without consultation with its officials or the IPL Governing Council.

Kolkata Knight Riders, owned by Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, confirmed Mustafizur Rahman's release on Saturday, following BCCI's directives.

Following the recent targeting of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh, KKR decided to release Mustafizur Rahman from their squad on Saturday.

Former cricketer Atul Wassan says blaming Shah Rukh Khan for Mustafizur's release is unfair and removing one player changes little.

The decision was made following reports of violence against members of the Hindu community in Bangladesh in December. Additionally, critics had voiced their disapproval of Rahman's involvement in the IPL.

The primary driver for Rahman's release is the deteriorating diplomatic relationship between India and Bangladesh.
