Mustafizur Rahman's IPL Fate Uncertain Amidst NOC Delay
The uncertainty surrounding Mustafizur Rahman's participation in the IPL 2025 has added to the concerns of the cricket fraternity, with the tournament resuming on Saturday and several top players considering their participation due to security concerns and scheduling conflicts.

Bangladesh Cricket Board has not received a No Objection Certificate request for Mustafizur Rahman's IPL 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals, leaving his participation uncertain. The Bangladeshi pacer is currently part of the national T20I squad, which is set to play series against UAE and Pakistan, conflicting with DC's IPL schedule.
The Indian Premier League is set to resume on Saturday after a week-long suspension, with several foreign players considering their participation due to security concerns. Australian batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk has already opted out of the tournament due to personal reasons. Cricket Australia is working with the Indian board on security arrangements, but the situation remains uncertain for many players.
The IPL final is scheduled for June 3, just eight days before the World Test Championship final between Australia and South Africa. The tight schedule has added to the concerns of players and boards, with several top players, including Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Jamie Overton, considering their participation. Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Cricket Board is waiting for an NOC request for Mustafizur Rahman, which has not been received yet.
The delay in receiving the NOC request has raised questions about Mustafizur Rahman's participation in the IPL 2025. The Bangladesh Cricket Board CEO, Nizamuddin Chowdhury, confirmed that no such request has been received from IPL officials or Mustafizur himself, leaving the pacer's fate uncertain. As the IPL resumes, all eyes will be on the developments surrounding Mustafizur Rahman's participation.
