The pacer from Bangladesh, Mustafizur Rahman, is hardly going to get any monetary amount as a reimbursement after the full release of the player, issued by the BCCI, even though he was not involved in the case that caused the termination of his contract.

Mustafizur is not only not going to get any compensation, but also the very reason behind it will remain obscure; therefore, he is going to have a difficult time figuring out the consequences of this unexpected release from one of the most successful franchises in the league.
