Zimbabwean pacer Blessing Muzarabani has been handed a two-year ban from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) after signing with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL). His agency, World Sports Xchange, argues that Muzarabani never signed a formal contract with any PSL franchise, asserting that his agreement with Islamabad United was only provisional and contingent upon obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Zimbabwe Cricket. They emphasize that without a signed contract, there can be no breach. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), led by Mohsin Naqvi, imposed the ban for failing to honor commitments, but Muzarabani's camp calls the punishment excessive and inconsistent with previous cases. They urge the PSL to reconsider the ban, labeling it an administrative error. Muzarabani has made two appearances for KKR in IPL 2026, notably taking four wickets in a match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
