In a significant development, Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman has registered for the IPL 2027 mini-auction. He will be hoping to secure a franchise contract after his controversial release by KKR ahead of the previous season.
The left-arm pacer is among several Bangladesh cricketers who have entered the auction pool, with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) confirming the registrations ahead of the IPL 2027 mini-auction.
Mustafizur Rahman Registers for IPL 2027 Mini-Auction
IPL teams are preparing for the 2027 mini-auction in Goa on December 16. One of the biggest talking points is Mustafizur Rahman's decision to register for the event after his controversial KKR release prior to the 2026 edition.
Confirming the development, BCB cricket operations chairman Shahriar Nafees explained that the registration was part of the BCCI's regular process of collecting names from interested players across different cricket boards.
“The BCCI has reached out to every cricket board and asked them to register the names of players who are interested in participating. Mustafizur has registered for their mini-auction,” Shahriar Nafees told India Today.

Mustafizur will now hope to attract bids from IPL franchises and secure a contract for the upcoming season. His potential return adds another layer to the controversy surrounding his release from KKR ahead of IPL 2026.
Nahid Rana and Five Other Bangladesh Players Register for IPL 2027 Auction
Mustafizur Rahman is not the only Bangladesh cricketer eyeing a contract in IPL 2027. Six other players have also registered for the 2027 mini-auction, as further confirmed by BCB cricket operations chairman Shahriar Nafees.
The list includes fast bowler Nahid Rana, who has impressed with his pace in international cricket. Rishad Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Towhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam have also registered for IPL 2027 auction.
“Yes, Nahid Rana, Rishad Hossain, Hasan Mahmud, Towhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam have also registered,” Nafees added.
Their registrations could give IPL franchises more Bangladesh options to consider ahead of the mini-auction in Goa. However, the players will first need to make the final auction list before hoping to secure contracts.
