Dhaka: Bangladesh interim Government on Monday decided to ban the broadcast of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, set to begin on Mar. 26, following the exclusion of Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman from the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) squad.

In a press release issued by the TV-2 wing of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, signed by Assistant Secretary Mohammad Firoz Khan and circulated to State-run Bangladesh Betar and various TV channels, the Government said, it was concerned over the directive by BCCI regarding Mustafizur’s release.
