Pakistan Super League: Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani's agency has pushed back against the Pakistan Super League (PSL) after the fast bowler was handed a two-year ban from the league, insisting that he had not signed any formal contract before choosing to join Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.

Muzarabani was initially named as a replacement signing in the PSL on a deal reportedly worth PKR 11 million (around Rs 37.4 lakh). However, he later pulled out and signed with KKR as a replacement for Mustafizur Rahman, a move that led to disciplinary action from the league.

In a statement shared on X, Muzarabani's agency, 'World Sports Xchange' clarified that no formal contract was ever signed between Muzarabani and any PSL franchise. While he had been approached by Islamabad United (IU) for the 2026 season, the agreement was only provisional and subject to obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from Zimbabwe Cricket—something that requires a valid, signed contract in the first place.
