Cricket fans of Bangladesh cannot accept that Mustafiz, who played in IPL, cannot get a team. Especially many people are surprised because of the lack of interest in this bowler who got 14 wickets in 9 matches for Chennai last year. At least many expected Mustafiz to have a second season for Chennai Super Kings.
At the end of the auction, 10 IPL franchises have already arranged their squads. Chennai Super Kings have also finalized the squad for the upcoming season. A number of cricketers gave up before the auction and did not show interest in the auction. Apart from Mustafiz, New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell and many others were in this list.
Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings remembered Mustafiz on their Facebook page. Along with that, the authorities also gave a message - thank you for fighting for us with courage. Your vitality will forever be part of our pride. Best wishes for your future endeavors. forever
It should be noted that Mustafizur Rahman's IPL journey is with Sunrisers Hyderabad. He then moved to Rajasthan Royals in Mumbai. From there, the pacer visited Delhi's court and came to Chennai for the last event. However, he was released by Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team before the mega auction. No franchise, including Chennai, showed interest in the left-arm pacer in the mega auction.
