Mustafizur Rahman Picked for The Hundred After IPL Snub

London — Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman has secured a place in The Hundred, weeks after he went unsold in the Indian Premier League Auction.

The left‑arm pacer was picked during The Hundred draft, giving him another opportunity to feature in a major franchise tournament.

Fresh Opportunity After IPL Disappointment

Despite his experience in global T20 leagues, Mustafizur Rahman did not attract a bid in the recent Indian Premier League auction.

However, his selection in The Hundred shows that franchises still value his unique bowling style and experience.

The Bangladesh pacer has built a reputation for his deceptive slower balls and cutters, which often trouble batters in limited‑overs cricket.

Experience in Global T20 Leagues

Over the years, Mustafizur has played in several international leagues and tournaments. He previously represented teams in the Indian Premier League, including Sunrisers Hyderabad and Delhi Capitals.

In addition, he remains a key member of the Bangladesh national cricket team across white‑ball formats.

Growing Popularity of The Hundred

The Hundred continues to attract top players from around the world. The competition, organized by the England and Wales Cricket Board, features a unique 100‑ball format designed to make the game faster and more exciting.

Franchises regularly look for experienced bowlers who can control runs in short formats, making Mustafizur a valuable addition.

Looking Ahead

Fans will now be eager to see how Mustafizur Rahman performs in the upcoming season of The Hundred.

A strong showing in England could help the Bangladesh pacer rebuild momentum in franchise cricket and strengthen his international reputation
