Overview
- After Noakhali Express’ game against Dhaka Capitals, Nabi told a reporter he has nothing to do with Mustafizur Rahman’s situation or politics, quoting, “What do I have to do with it?”
- Mustafizur was released by Kolkata Knight Riders for IPL 2026 following a BCCI instruction, despite KKR having bought him for INR 9.20 crore as the auction’s lone Bangladesh pick.
- The Bangladesh Cricket Board has asked the ICC to shift Bangladesh’s T20 World Cup group matches out of India citing safety concerns, with the ICC yet to issue a definitive public response.
- Coverage in India reports a venue change appears unlikely so close to the tournament, while Bangladesh’s government has reportedly suspended IPL broadcasts until further notice.
- Nabi also featured alongside his son Hassan Eisakhil for Noakhali Express, a rare father–son pairing in top-tier franchise T20 cricket.
