Observer Online Report

Youth and Sports Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul has protested an instruction of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to remove Mustafizur Rahman from Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) squad.

In a Facebook post around 11:31PM on Saturday, he wrote, "As the adviser in charge of the Sports Ministry, I asked the Bangladesh Cricket Board to explain the entire matter to ICC in written. The board should inform that where a Bangladeshi cricketer cannot play in India despite being contracted, the entire Bangladeshi cricket team cannot feel safe going to play in the World Cup."

"I have also instructed the board to request that Bangladesh's World Cup matches should be held in Sri Lanka."

He further wrote, "I have requested the Information and Broadcasting Adviser to stop broadcasting of IPL tournament in Bangladesh. We will not accept any insult to Bangladeshi cricket, cricketers and Bangladesh under any circumstances. The days of slavery are over."
