While Bangladesh star fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is expected to play in the T20 series, he now expects that he will not return to India to rejoin his team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, for the 10th Indian Premier League competition which opens on Friday. “The Fizz” led the Sunrisers to their first IPL championship in 2016, but the Bangladesh Cricket Board is seeking to manage Mustafizur’s often sore shoulder which caused him to miss about six months of action.

“I learned a lot from the IPL, but I don’t think I will be able to make it for the tournament this time around. I am waiting for permission from the Board,” the 21-year-old bowling sensation said this week.
