The Pakistan Cricket Board has banned Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka for one year from the Pakistan Super League after he withdrew to join an IPL franchise. The PCB cited a breach of contractual obligations for the decision. Blessing Muzarabani also received a two-year ban for a similar issue, though his agent disputes the contract's validity.
PCB has acknowledged that no formal contract was sent to Zimbabwe pacer Blessing Muzarabani for the Pakistan Super League, but defends its decision to impose a two-year ban, claiming a clear verbal agreement was reached. Muzarabani joined Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2026 as a replacement for Mustafizur Rahman after reportedly rejecting a PSL offer worth USD 40,000. His agent insists no contract was ever provided and that an NOC cannot be obtained without one, calling the ban excessive and unjustified.
Zimbabwean pacer Blessing Muzarabani faces a two-year PSL ban for withdrawing from a deal, but his agency vehemently denies any wrongdoing. They assert no formal contract was signed, making the ban unjustified. While the league cites a breach of commitment, the agency calls the penalty excessive and urges its withdrawal, highlighting an administrative error amidst Muzarabani's IPL success.
