Birmingham Phoenix to assess Mustafizur Rahman fitness before The Hundred 2026
Birmingham Phoenix will check Mustafizur Rahman's fitness ahead of The Hundred 2026 after recent hamstring and knee problems.
Birmingham Phoenix will need to assess Mustafizur Rahman's fitness before The Hundred 2026. The Bangladesh pacer has been battling hamstring and knee issues — injuries that already cost him time during Bangladesh's recent tour of Zimbabwe, where Taskin Ahmed stepped in.
Mustafizur plays for Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, but the franchise will monitor his condition closely before locking in their squad. If the problems persist, Birmingham's pace attack could take a hit.

Mustafizur's injury record raises a harder question for Phoenix: do they invest an overseas slot in a left-armer with a fragility problem, or use it on someone they can rely on for all eight games?
