Fast bowlers Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed are part of the likely group of Bangladeshi players who are likely to register for the upcoming IPL 2027 mini-auction. The IPL 2027 auction will be held on December 16 in Goa.

The BCB has begun the registration process after Mustafizur expressed his wish to take part in the auction. The BCB source also confirmed that a number of other Bangladesh cricketers, such as Nahid Rana, Rishad Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Towhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam, are likewise set to sign up for the auction.

“It is a regular procedure for the IPL mini-auction. The BCCI has reached out to every cricket board and asked them to register the names of players who are interested in participating. Mustafizur is registering for the mini-auction. Nahid Rana, Rishad Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Towhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam have also registered,” a source told India Today.

Notably, Mustafizur Rahman was released by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) after BCCI instructed them to do so before the IPL 2026 began amidst controversy. This decision led to a major controversy between the BCB and the BCCI. The two boards entered a stand-off as Bangladesh refused to play in India, who was the co-host of the T20 World Cup 2026 with Sri Lanka.

BCB wanted Bangladesh’s matches to be relocated to Sri Lanka, refusing to send the team to India. After lots of negotiations, the ICC decided to replace Bangladesh with Scotland.
