The Bangladeshi left-arm pacer, Mustafizur Rahman is all pumped to join Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the ongoing the cricket festival in India, Indian Premier League’s tenth edition. Rahman took to social media site Facebook and confirmed it on Tuesday.

Rahman posted a picture of himself and captioned it, ‘Off to India, Mission IPL #OrangeArmy’.

Due to injuries, Rahman’s participation in IPL was sceptical as Bangladesh Cricket Board wanted to take no risk ahead of the Champions Trophy to be held in England in June.

He played 16 games in the ninth edition of IPL, 2016 when Susrisers Hyderabad won the title. With Mustafizur all set to make a comeback, it is bound to bolster the SRH attack. He will bowl in tandem with Bhuvneshwar kumar and Mustafizur will come in handy in the death overs as well.

The coach of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Tom Moody said, “He is available and is arriving this evening. Who he’ll replace might be decided tomorrow. But it’s more than likely that he will be fit and available unless something happens overnight. But yeah, he’s in our consideration for the final eleven.”
