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

The announcement came amid the BCCI instructing IPL side Kolkata Knight Riders to release Mustafizur from its squad due to “developments all around” in a vague reference to attacks on Hindus in the neighbouring country.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) then said on Monday that it does not feel secure in sending the national team to India for next month’s T20 World Cup due to the deteriorating diplomatic relations.

A planned online meeting between the ICC and the Bangladesh Cricket Board to discuss the shifting of the country’s T20 World Cup games from India to Sri Lanka, could not take place on Tuesday.

According to Bangladesh Cricket Board sources, their president Aminul Islam Bulbul wants a written reply to an e-mail BCB has sent to ICC on their security apprehensions after BCCI decided to oust Mustafizur by instructing KKR to cancel its ₹9.2 crore deal with the pacer.

BCB, in a retaliatory move, then wrote to ICC requesting for shifting of its league games in India to Sri Lanka.
