Mujeeb Ur Rahman: Afghanistan spin bowler Mujeeb Ur Rahman was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders team in the IPL 2024 auction at a base price of Rs 2 crore. Mujeeb can play the role of a main spinner for KKR in IPL 2024, but now it seems difficult for Mujeeb to play in IPL 2024. In such a situation, KKR needs to find a replacement.
It is difficult for Mujeeb Ur Rahman to play IPL
In fact, the Afghanistan Cricket Board has refused to issue a clearance certificate to Muzeeb along with Naveen Ul Haq and Fazarhaq Farooqui because these three players had requested to withdraw from the central contract from January 1.
Therefore, if the Afghanistan Cricket Board does not grant NOC to these Afghan players including Mujeeb ur Rehman, they will not be able to play IPL. In this case, the KKR team will have to add another spin bowler to their squad in place of Mujeeb Ur Rahman. Let us tell you about the three key spin bowlers that the KKR team can add to their squad.
Adil Rashid – England
England’s Adil Rashid can be a good option for KKR as he has a good record in India. He has taken two wickets in three IPL matches and has also recently become the number 1 bowler in the T20 format.
Tabrez Shamsi – South Africa
South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi could also be another choice for KKR to replace Afghanistan player Mujeeb Ur Rahman. He has become an expert in the T20 format. Shamsi has played five IPL matches and taken three wickets.
Ish Sodhi
The name Ish Sodhi from New Zealand is also included in this list. Although he hasn’t played any IPL matches since 2019, KKR can buy him instead of Muzeeb. He has played eight IPL matches and taken nine wickets.
