Zimbabwe’s fast bowler left PSL and joined IPL, said goodbye to Islamabad United, know where Bangladeshi player Mustafizur is now

Kolkata: Zimbabwean fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani has got the contract of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and will no longer play for Islamabad United in PSL 2026. Muzarabani has informed United about this.

In December last year, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had asked KKR to release Mustafizur Rahman, whom they had bought for Rs 9.2 crore in the auction. KKR has announced the addition of Muzarabani. Mustafizur has been roped in by Lahore Qalandars for the upcoming PCL season starting from March 26. Muzarabani has won the PSL title while playing for Multan Sultans but he did not find a buyer during the PSL auction held on February 11.

However, after the release of West Indies fast bowler Shamar Joseph, United brought in Muzarabani as a direct signing. It is noteworthy that last year, South African fast bowler Corbin Bosch was included by Peshawar Zalmi as a diamond pick but later he was included by Mumbai Indians as an injury replacement. After this, PSL also imposed a one-year ban on him from playing in this league.
