PCB planning to take legal action against Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani for choosing IPL KKR gig over PSL: Report

According to a report in Geo Super, the PCB are now planning to take legal action against the 29-year-old. Earlier, Muzarabani was named as Islamabad United's replacement for Shamar Joseph.

This is the second consecutive year that a player initially contracted with the PSL opted to join an IPL team, with both tournaments running concurrently. Last season, South Africa pacer Corbin Bosch did the same after being picked as a Diamond Pick by Peshawar Zalmi. He later joined the Mumbai Indians as an injury replacement.

He returned with four wickets against Australia, helping the Sikandar Raza-led side register an emphatic victory during the group stage.

On the other hand, IPL's final will be played on May 31. The BCCI has announced only the schedule for the first 16 days, and the remaining matches will be confirmed once the Election Commission announces the poll dates for West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Assam.

The IPL 2026 will begin on March 26 with the tournament opener between defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad. KKR will play their opening match the next day against the five-time champions, the Mumbai Indians.
