"At this stage, we are expecting him to come. We have not had any official word in any other way. We are expecting him to be here on (April) seventh. Unless, we hear differently from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), we will continue to expect him," he said.
Sunrisers Hyderabad takes on Royal Challengers Bangalore on April 5 in the inaugural match which Mustafizur will be missing.
According to Moody, there's no pressure being defending champions and said: "To me, it's not just another chapter, actually another book."
