5 released players who may go unsold in IPL Auction

#2 Mustafizur Rahman

Three-time defending champions Mumbai Indians have released Mustafizur Rahman from their squad. MI acquired the services of the Bangladeshi pacer for just 2.2 cr and he was recognised as the bargain buy of the season as he along with spearhead JaspritBumrah looked best death bowling pair on paper.

But right from the first match where they failed against the onslaught of Dwayne Bravo and he couldn't bring out his A-game to the fore. His history of injury prone career continued as he pulled out of the tournament midway.

He also missed the subsequent series against New Zealand. The Bangladesh Cricket Board has come out with a statement denying Non-Objection Certificate for Mustafizur to play in foreign T20 leagues for the next two years.

He played a key role in the maiden IPL triumph of Sunrisers Hyderabad and hence franchises would love to have such a player. But with board's reluctance in allowing him to play and his injury-ridden career may just be enough for franchises to look for another option.
