Bangladesh's Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Nazrul has reacted strongly to the BCCI's decision to remove Mustafizur Rahman from the IPL, calling it a move that signifies the end of 'days of slavery.' Nazrul has asked the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to seek the ICC's help in shifting the T20 World Cup 2026 matches from India to Sri Lanka, citing safety concerns for the team. The BCB is also seeking an explanation from the BCCI for Rahman's removal.
