Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman has received a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) from May 18 to 24.
The left-arm pacer was recently signed by Delhi Capitals as a replacement for Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, who won't return to India due to the resumption of the IPL following a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

He previously played for the same franchise in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, taking 9 wickets in 10 matches.
Delhi Capitals have three matches left in the group stage—against Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans, and Mumbai Indians.
Currently fifth in the points table with 13 points from 11 matches, they are still in contention for the playoffs. Winning two may give them a chance, but three wins will almost certainly seal a spot in the top four.
