The representatives for Zimbabwean fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani have issued a scathing rebuttal following the Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) decision to impose a two-year ban on the player.

The disciplinary action stems from an alleged breach of contract after Muzarabani reportedly opted to join the Indian Premier League (IPL) instead of honouring an agreement with Islamabad United.

In a formal statement released on Sunday, the agency characterised the online vitriol directed at the cricketer as “voluminous and disgusting,” asserting that they broke their six-week silence specifically to shield Muzarabani from “vile hatred” sent by social media users whom they labelled “a disgrace to humanity.”

A Disputed Timeline

The defence centres on the claim that a binding employment contract never actually existed. According to the agent’s timeline:

Feb. 13, 2026: Islamabad United approached Muzarabani with a playing opportunity. A deal was agreed upon, but it was strictly “SUBJECT TO obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC)” from Zimbabwe Cricket. Crucially, the agency noted that an NOC requires a finalised PSL contract to be issued first.

Feb. 27, 2026: Two weeks after the initial announcement, the agency claims the PSL and Islamabad United had still failed to provide a formal contract of employment. During this administrative vacuum, Muzarabani reached an agreement with the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

“You Simply Cannot Breach a Contract You Have Never Received”

The agency emphasised that Muzarabani was neither selected through the official auction draft nor ever presented with physical paperwork to sign.

They argued the legal impossibility of the league’s stance, stating: “YOU SIMPLY CANNOT BREACH A CONTRACT YOU HAVE NEVER RECEIVED.”

The statement further criticised the PSL’s punitive measures as “incredibly excessive” and inconsistent with historical precedents for actual contractual violations.

Call for Retraction

Labelling the entire ordeal an “administrative error” on the part of Pakistani cricket officials, the agency urged the PSL to “gracefully withdraw the ban.”

Despite the sharp tone regarding the mistreatment of their client, the representatives maintained they “bear no grudges” toward Islamabad United or the league, seeking instead a quiet resolution to what they describe as a public admonishment of an innocent player.`
