Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are expected to receive a full refund of the 9.20 crore spent on Bangladeshi pacer Mustafizur Rahman after the BCCI directed the franchise to release him due to external developments. IPL rules typically allow franchises to recover the full auction price when the BCCI withdraws a player for non-cricketing reasons, such as diplomatic or security concerns. This situation is being treated as a force majeure, enabling KKR to regain their full spending power to acquire a replacement player.
