The Pakistan Super League banned Zimbabwean bowler Blessing Muzarabani for two years after he decided to play in the Indian Premier League despite having a contract with a PSL team.
After being approached by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, Muzarabani, who had signed for Islamabad United as a replacement player, chose to leave the PSL.
“Professionalism in franchise-based leagues requires participants to act with transparency and consistency. Entering into a conflicting engagement while a prior binding agreement subsists represents a departure from the expected standards of the game.
“Such conduct, if left unaddressed, erodes the reliability of dealings and the confidence that franchises, regulators, and stakeholders place in professional engagements. The two-year ban reflects the gravity of the breach,” it further emphasised,” read a PSL statement.
Muzarabani, who made an impression in the previous T20 World Cup, has already played two games for KKR and claimed four wickets at the Eden Gardens against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
