Bangladesh cricket team has returned home after a nightmare tour in New Zealand as the cricketers boarded Singapore Airlines at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 11:05 am Bangladesh time on Sunday. All the cricketers of the team left the airport and went to their respective destinations but Mustafizur Rahman has remained at the airport.
The Fiz did not leave the airport mainly because he will fly from the airport to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as he is following the Covid protocol. He will play for Rajasthan Royals in this year's event. While other Royals cricketers have already joined the team, Cutter Master is going to join them late because of the New Zealand series.

In this regard, BCB Airport Coordinator Wasim Khan told Cricfrenzy, "Mustafiz did not come out due to the Covid protocol. He is inside the airport. His flight at 3:40 p.m. Directly to Kolkata, from there to Mumbai.
After reaching India, Mustafiz will have to stay in the mandatory quarantine for seven days. He will then be able to join the team only if he test Covid negative. Rajasthan will play the first match of this year's extravaganza on April 12 against Panjab Kings. Mustafiz will miss the first match.
