The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has stated it has received no government directive to prevent Bangladeshi players, including Mustafizur Rahman, from participating in the IPL. Rahman, acquired by KKR for Rs 9.20 crore, faces backlash due to reports of violence against religious minorities in Bangladesh. Some Indian figures have criticized his signing, with threats of disruption made. The BCCI maintains a cautious stance, awaiting official communication, while KKR and IPL authorities have not officially responded to the controversy.
