Muzarabani Given Two-Year Psl Ban After Ipl Switch
The PCB said the ban follows a disciplinary review after Muzarabani withdrew from a signed PSL deal to join Kolkata Knight Riders.
- On Tuesday, the Pakistan Cricket Board banned Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani from the Pakistan Super League for two years after he withdrew from his Islamabad United contract to join the Indian Premier League.
- Muzarabani signed with Islamabad United for the 2026 season but later joined Kolkata Knight Riders after the Board of Control for Cricket in India instructed them to release Bangladesh seamer Mustafizur Rahman.
- "Such conduct, if left unaddressed, erodes the reliability of dealings," a PSL statement read. The board emphasized, "The two-year ban reflects the gravity of the breach."
- This penalty exceeds the one-year ban issued to South Africa allrounder Corbin Bosch last year for a similar breach. Other players, including Spencer Johnson and Dasun Shanaka, withdrew from PSL arrangements but face no official rulings.
- Muzarabani has already played for KKR, taking four wickets for 41 runs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in his second appearance. He was later dropped from the squad against Lucknow Super Giants and featured in a rain-affected match against Punjab Kings.
