All bangladeshi players

Indian Premier League: Bangladeshi cricket fans were left disappointed after none of their players was picked during the mega auction for the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in the last two days. Despite showcasing immense talent in recent years, Bangladesh’s representation in the league will be non-existent as none of the 12 players, who put in their name for the event, were bought.

All the players from Bangladesh going unsold defies cricketing logic and could be due to non-cricketing reasons.

Though the franchises did not give any reason for not selecting players from Bangladesh, there is speculation on social media that socio-political tensions, including concerns over minority persecution in Bangladesh, might be the reason for ignoring the Bangladesh players in the auction.
