Mustafizur Rahman ICC Ranking, Age, Stats, and Networth
Mustafizur Rahman is one of Bangladesh’s most attacking bowlers and is recognized worldwide for his exceptional skills. He began his international cricket career in 2015 and gained global fame by dismissing top-class batters with his unique bowling style.
He is especially regarded as a death-overs specialist in the ODI format and is counted among the fastest wicket-taking bowlers in ODI cricket. His effectiveness is not limited to international cricket only, as he has also delivered strong performances in various leagues around the world.
Recently, a major development emerged regarding Mustafizur Rahman when Kolkata Knight Riders picked him for IPL 2026 for a record bid of 90 million Indian rupees. However, on the request of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, he was released by the KKR franchise due to political reasons.
Following this, Mustafizur Rahman has registered himself for the Pakistan Super League, where he will be available for selection by any PSL franchise through the draft. PSL 2026 Schedule is from 26 March to 03 May.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Cricket Board has also taken a serious stance regarding this situation and has refused to play World Cup matches at Indian venues. This issue has been discussed at various international platforms. It is hoped that the ICC will find a solution to bring all stakeholders together so that Bangladesh can participate in the World Cup fully and competitively.
