Mustafizur registers for PSL 2026

Bangla Press Desk:   In the aftermath of his axing from the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mustafizur Rahman has registered for the 2026 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), with several franchises now emerging as potential suitors for the Bangladesh paceman in the upcoming players’ draft.

The left-arm pacer had been excluded from the 2026 IPL amid rising geopolitical tensions between India and Bangladesh, marking a significant development in sub-continental cricket.

Following objections from sections of Indian cricket fans over the participation of Bangladeshi players, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) directed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to release the experienced speedster from their squad.

The Indian cricket board also permitted KKR to seek a replacement, a decision that could have wider implications for future bilateral cricket relations between the two neighbouring nations.

The development has gained further traction after the PSL’s official social media page shared a post featuring Mustafizur, fuelling speculation about his likely participation in the league next season.Mustafizur registers for PSL 2026
