Mustafizur to miss entire The Hundred season due to hamstring injury

DHAKA, July 23, 2026 (BSS) - Bangladesh pace spearhead Mustafizur Rahman will 
miss the entire 2026 season of The Hundred in England after suffering a 
hamstring injury.

Mustafizur was signed by Birmingham Phoenix for this year's tournament, which 
began on July 21. However, the franchise confirmed in a Facebook post today 
that the left-arm pacer has been ruled out for the season because of the 
injury.

Popularly known as the "Cutter Master," Mustafizur was picked by Birmingham 
Phoenix for his base price of 100,000 pounds at the player auction held in 
March.

He sustained the hamstring injury during the first ODI against Zimbabwe 
earlier this month after bowling six overs. The injury also forced him to 
miss the remaining two matches of the three-match ODI series.

Birmingham Phoenix are yet to announce a replacement for the Bangladesh fast 
bowler.
