Blessing Muzarabani Banned from PSL for 2 Years: Adopting a firm stance, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has imposed a two-year ban on Zimbabwe's star fast bowler, Blessing Muzarabani, prohibiting him from playing in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). This action follows Muzarabani's last-minute decision to withdraw from the PSL in order to join the IPL 2026.

The primary reasons behind this ban on Muzarabani are a breach of contract and prioritizing the IPL. The sequence of events unfolded as follows
- PSL Contract: Muzarabani held a contract with Islamabad United for the PSL 2026 season. He had been inducted into the squad as a replacement for Shamar Joseph.
- Sudden Exit: Just as he was poised to take the field for the three-time champions, Islamabad United, he received an offer from the IPL franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
- Opting for the IPL: Muzarabani chose to play in the IPL 2026 rather than the PSL, a decision that displeased both the PCB and the Islamabad United team. It was this 'breach of contract' that led to his ban for the next two seasons.
