Latest News about Mustafizur Rahman
Mustafizur Rahman was ruled out of the three-match T20I series against Pakistan due to a clip fracture on his left thumb sustained during his IPL stint against Punjab Kings. Bangladesh physio Delowar Hossain stated the injury would sideline him for two to three weeks, and Khaled Ahmed was called in as his replacement.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board granted Mustafizur Rahman a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) to join Delhi Capitals for the remaining IPL 2025 league games after he played Bangladesh's T20I against UAE. This cleared the uncertainty over his participation following his cryptic social media post about heading to UAE.
In Bangladesh's T20I against the United Arab Emirates, Mustafizur Rahman became the first bowler in men's T20I history to deliver 300 dot balls in the final overs from 16 to 20. The milestone highlighted his long-standing effectiveness as a death bowler and added another major statistical record to his international career.
Mustafizur Rahman became only the fourth bowler to reach 100 wickets in the Bangladesh Premier League while playing for Dhaka Capitals. He reached the landmark during the 2024-25 season, reinforcing his status as one of the league's most successful fast bowlers.
Mustafizur Rahman was named in Bangladesh's squad for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. The selection confirmed he remained a central part of the national team's plans for major ICC events, entering the tournament as one of Bangladesh's most experienced seam options.
