Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is unlikely to receive any IPL payment after Kolkata Knight Riders released him on the instruction of the BCCI. He was bought for Rs 9.20 crore at the auction. Players usually insure their contracts and get part of the fee if they miss the season due to injury. Sources say this case is different. Mustafizur was released for off-field reasons linked to India-Bangladesh tensions. The Bangladesh Cricket Board has also withdrawn his no-objection certificate. With the NOC cancelled, KKR may not be bound to pay him. Any insurance claim now depends on special clauses in his private policy. (PC: The Indian Express)
