After paying six crores to join the Delhi Capitals, the bowler posted, "I'm heading to the UAE"

Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk has been ruled out of the remaining matches of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 due to personal reasons and will not come to India. After that, Delhi Capitals (DC) has included Bangladesh star fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman in the team as his replacement on a contract amounting to Rs 6 crore.

Delhi Capitals announced this as soon as possible. The Bangladeshi fast bowler shared a post on social media, after which clouds of doubt started hovering over his playing in the IPL. Mustafizur Rahman posted his photo on Instagram and wrote, 'I am going to UAE to play against them, keep me in your prayers.'

Bangladesh has to play a two-match T20 series against the UAE. The first match will be played on 17 May, while the second and last match will be played on 19 May. After this, the Bangladesh team has to tour Pakistan. In such a situation, will Mustafizur be able to join the Delhi team?

Let us tell you that according to the rules of IPL, if a player gets injured or sick before the 12th match, then the team can replace him. But this time the rules have been changed after the tournament was postponed.

Now the franchise can temporarily include a new player in the team for the remaining part of the tournament if needed. However, such a player cannot be retained in the next season. This rule has been made so that no team deliberately replaces the players and postpones the auction process, but the replacement is taken only when needed.
