Blessing Muzarabani’s Agency Slams PCB Over 2-Year PSL Ban

Blessing Muzarabani’s agency criticized PCB over a 2-year PSL ban, stating that no contract had been signed and condemning online abuse directed at the Zimbabwean pacer.

Blessing Muzarabani’s agency criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after the fast bowler was banned from the PSL for 2 years. The Zimbabwean pacer had earlier been linked to Islamabad United in the PSL, which clashed with the IPL 2026.

Kolkata Knight Riders later signed Muzarabani as a replacement for Mustafizur Rahman after the auction. His agency, World Sports Xchange, initially avoided public comments to prevent further tension. The agency later responded strongly to growing online criticism. They described the abuse directed at the player as unacceptable. They also condemned personal attacks on social media, calling for respect towards the player amid the ongoing controversy.

“We’ve remained quiet publicly over the last six weeks because we did not wish to create or cause any more animosity for the Pakistan Super League/Pakistan Cricket Board than they had already created for themselves. Due to the voluminous and disgusting nature of criticism directed at Blessing via social media, I will no longer stay silent,” the statement from the agency read.

“Blessing loves the fans. Everywhere he goes, he engages with the public and is generous with his time for the fans. I have seen this gentle giant mature into an exceptional man as well as a world-class cricketer. To the so-called ‘fans’ that fill his social media DMs with vile hatred, you are an utter disgrace to humanity, and you are cowards,” he added.

Blessing Muzarabani’s agency then explained the timeline behind the PSL controversy. It stated that officials approached the player on February 13 for a deal, subject to a No Objection Certificate from Zimbabwe Cricket.

The agency noted that such clearance required a formal contract. It claimed no contract had been reached with the player despite public announcements. By February 27, Muzarabani received an offer from Kolkata Knight Riders and accepted it.

The representatives argued that a breach of contract could not occur without a signed agreement. They described the 2-year ban as excessive compared to similar cases.

“You simply cannot breach a contract you have never received,” the statement read.

They have now urged PSL authorities to reassess the decision. The agency also clarified that it held no grievances against the league or franchise involved.
