The Hundred Auction: Mustafizur Rahman selected, IPL team owners took a big decision

Bangladesh's left arm fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman has been selected for The Hundred auction. Only two players have been selected from Bangladesh. There are also teams of IPL team owners in The Hundred, who have approved to bring Mustafizur Rahman in the auction. Let us tell you that due to bad relations between India and Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman was dropped from IPL 2026. This player was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders at a price of Rs 9.20 crore but then after the instructions of BCCI, Kolkata dropped him from the team but now only the owners of the teams associated with IPL can bet on him in The Hundred.
