The IPL 2026 mini-auction saw limited success for Bangladeshi cricketers, with only Mustafizur Rahman being sold. The left-arm fast bowler attracted significant interest, ultimately being purchased by the Kolkata Knight Riders for 9.20 Crore. Seven other Bangladeshi players, including notable names like Rishad Hossain and Taskin Ahmed, registered for the auction but went unsold, highlighting a challenging period for their representation in the league.
