Bangladesh Fast Bowling Mustafizur Rahman is ready to return to the international cricket after the rest period. The fast left hand on Wednesday (March 12) received a PRP (plasma rich in platelets), after which it took a little rest.
Mustafizur Rahman played a role in the Trophy Bangladesh campaign, where they finished third in their group behind the eventual finalists of India and Novi Zealand, so they failed to qualify for the semifinals.
Why did Mustafizur Rahman rest?
Member of the BCB medical unit claimed that Mustafizur had received the injection of the PrP that he would need a vacation before returning to the field again. The injection was given to treat his old left shoulder injury.
“He (Mustafizur) got the injection of PRP and now he will need a vacation before returning to the field. Mustafizur has no new injury, but occasionally the problem with the left shoulders who worked earlier, and he manages the team (discomfort) and the game,” and the member said Cricbuzz.
The PRP treatment involves injecting the concentrated amount of patient thrombocytes into injury to accelerate healing and reduce inflammation, which potentially accelerates tissue repair and reduces pain.
The member also confirmed that it takes an average of 7-10 days on average to fully recover from PRP injection, which will probably be the case with Rahman. The left hand is expected to return to the field soon.
When will Mustafizur Rahman return?
Mustafizur Rahman is expected to return the professional cricket through the current Dhaka Premier League, which is the main list in the country’s home tournament. They will probably appear after the Eid-Ul-Fitr.
Experienced Pacer is likely to play for Crickket Club Prime Bank, the same team that represented last year in the Dhaka Premier League. “Let’s see when he blends in, and later if we can have one in our budget, we will surely go for him,” the main club for the Cricket Bank was quoted.
There are also speculations that Mustafizur can be seen in IPL, although there is no confirmation in this regard. He entered the IPL 2025 mega auction for the basic price of INR 2 crore, but he underwent Nenodat.

Mustafizur Rahman played two matches in the 2025 champion trophy, where he picked up 2 Wickeke on average 52 and an economy of 5.47.
He entered the tournament with a lot of expectations as leading Pacer Bangladesh, but failed to meet expectations. However, he is still a white ball for Bangladesh and will be crucial for them in the upcoming tournaments.
Bangladesh will play a test series with two games against Zimbabwe at home, starting on April 20. The first test of the series will be played in Sylhet, while the second will play on Chattogram.
