1)Abid Mushtaq :– Abid Mushtaq from Doda, Jammu and Kashmir is one of the many cricketers from the valley to feature in this year IPL.
Abid is left arm spinner who has been part of Jammu Kashmir domestic circuit for 4 years. His best figures in the shortest format of the cricket is 4 wickets for 7 runs.
It will be interesting to see Rajasthan Royal thinking about picking him, as the spinners department is totally clogged with the presence of Chahal, Ashwin and Zampa. May be Abid can get his chance in the form of impact player.
2)Shaik Rasheed :- The 19 year old Shaik Rasheed has already spent a season at Chennai Super kings.
The 19 year old boy from Guntur impressed everyone with match winning performance in 2022 U-19 World Cup and CSK talent scouts didn’t miss him when he was auctioned at IPL auction 2023.
Though he didn’t get a game in the last season, he is retained for 2024 and may get some game time this season if he can impress management in nets.
3)Shams Zakir Mulani :- Shams Mulani is regular feature in Mumbai domestic cricket games and this year he has been rewarded for his consistent show with a IPL contract for the home franchise.
With Piyush Chawla most likely to continue his role and play most of the matches, Shams Mulani can come into picture for Mumbai Indians in slow away pitches.
4)Sameer Rizvi :- The spotlight of IPL 2024, Sameer Rizvi made headlines with bidding amount of 8.4 crores from CSK who were looking to fill the void of Suresh Raina.
Sameer Rizvi is hard hitting batsman from Uttar Pradesh and Suresh Raina speaks very highly of him high of him. We will surely see him in yellow colors in IPL 2024 as CSK management would not have invested 8.4 cr in Rizvi only to carry drinks.
5)Sakib Hussain :- Sakib Hussain is another unknown player who has found a buyer in IPL 2024. The 19 year old has played only 2 matches in domestic cricket so far that too in 2022, but words goes a long way in cricket circuit and Sakib Hussain has got something about him that landed him a contract with KKR.
Apart from these players there are some well known names too who belong to Muslim religion.
Mohammad Shami, Moeen Ali, Rashid Khan, Naveel Ul Haq, Khaleel Ahmed, Mohammad Nabi, Abdul Samad, Fazalhaq Farooqui, Umran Malik, Noor Ahmad, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Mujeeb Rahman, Shahbaz Ahmed, Mustafizur Rehman also will be seen in IPL 2024.
