IPL 2021: Good news for Rajasthan Royals; Mustafizur Rahman given NOC: Bangladesh seamer Mustafizur Rahman has been given a ‘No Objection Certificate’ (NOC) by Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to play in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Mustafizur would be representing Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2021.
With their leading pacer Jofra Archer uncertain to play in the tournament due to an injury, the presence of Mustafizur would be greatly appreciated by the 2008 IPL winners.
‘The Fizz’, as Rahman is known in world cricket, is known for his trademark ‘cutter’ with which he made a big impact at the start of his international career. He has a decent record in IPL, having taken 24 wickets in 24 matches.
Mustafizur made a big impact in the 2016 season, playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he picked up 17 wickets and won the Emerging Player of the Year Award. He was picked up by Mumbai Indians for the 2018 season and is now with the Rajasthan Royals.
