Last season (IPL 2024), he took 14 wickets in nine matches for CSK.
Bangladesh fast bowler and former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star Mustafizur Rahman recently got administered a dose of PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection in a bid to make a return to competitive cricket. However, he will have to undergo a rest period before making a comeback to the field.
Fizz, who went unsold at the IPL 2025 auction, can be a lucrative choice for multiple franchises with a considerable number of overseas fast bowlers injured or still uncertain in the likes of Hazlewood, Lockie Ferguson, Mitchell Marsh amongst others.
Speaking about the recent development, a member of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) medical unit confirmed Cricbuzz,
“He (Mustafizur) was given a PRP injection and now he will need some rest before returning to field. Mustafizur is not having any new injury but the left-shoulder that was operated earlier causes problem at times, and he manages that (discomfort) and play.”
PRP therapy involves using a concentrated dose of a patient’s own platelets, which are injected into an injured or affected area. This process aims to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and potentially accelerate tissue regeneration while alleviating pain.
