The PSL 2026 tournament has been surrounded by controversies ever since it had not even started. The agency of Zimbabwean fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani, who left Pakistan Super League and came to play in IPL, has targeted the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Actually PCB has banned Muzarabani from playing in PSL for 2 years. Muzarabani’s agency retaliated by asking why a ban was imposed on breaking a contract which Muzarabani never received.

Blessing Muzarabani did not find any buyer in the PSL auction. Later, Islamabad United team signed him as a replacement player and he was to get 1.1 crore Pakistani rupees for this deal. A few days later, Muzarabani withdrew from Pakistan Super League and joined IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders. He got a place in KKR as a replacement for Mustafizur Rahman.

In response, Pakistan Cricket Board banned Muzarabani from playing in PSL for 2 years. But Muzarabani’s sports agency ‘Sports Xchange’ has slammed the PCB and said that the Islamabad United franchise had only made a social media announcement. Muzarabani never got an official contract.

The agency also made it clear that Islamabad United had made Muzarabani an offer to play, but for this Muzarabani needed NOC from the Zimbabwe Cricket Board, which he could not get. Despite the lack of official documents, Islamabad United franchise had confirmed the signing of Muzarabani on social media.

There is panic in Pakistan because of the Indian Premier League. Actually, some of the players who were supposed to play in PSL have come to IPL. Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board, Mohsin Naqvi is very upset about this. He has openly threatened the players going to IPL.

Earlier, Zimbabwe’s Blessing Muzarabani was to play for Islamabad United, but he has replaced Mustafizur Rahman in Kolkata Knight Riders. Now Sri Lankan cricket team captain Dasun Shanaka has become the second player who has left the PSL contract and joined the IPL. He will join Rajasthan Royals. Let us remind you that last season PCB had taken action against South African cricketer Corbin Bosch, who had joined Mumbai Indians.

Open threat from PCB Chairman

During a conversation with the media on Sunday, Mohsin Naqvi said, “As far as international players are concerned, see which players have come to play in the PSL this time. Yes, 2-3 players have left and we are preparing to take legal action against them.”

This time IPL and PSL are being organized at the same time. On the clash between the two leagues, Mohsin Naqvi said that the clash with IPL will not have much impact because the world is full of talented players. Despite IPL, many international players have come to play in PSL.

Mohsin Naqvi told that the matches of PSL 2026 will be played in empty grounds. He cited the ongoing war in the Middle East as the reason. PSL will start from 26th March and the final will be played on 3rd May. On the other hand, IPL 2026 is going to start from March 28, but BCCI has not yet released the complete schedule, hence the date of the final has not been revealed.

A major upset was seen in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, when Zimbabwe national cricket team defeated the considered strong Australia national cricket team by 23 runs. The real hero of this match was Zimbabwe’s tall fast bowler Blessing Muzarabani, who did not give the Australian batsmen any chance to survive with his speed and bounce. The 6 feet 8 inches tall Muzarabani took 4 wickets for just 17 runs in 4 overs and completely changed the course of the match. For this brilliant performance he was also chosen Player of the Match. But do you know how much education this bowler, who spits fire on the field, has. So let us know how educated Zimbabwe’s Muzarabani is, due to which Australia came to its knees.

Muzarabani’s early life

Blessing Muzarabani was born on 2 October 1996 in Harare, Zimbabwe. He was fond of cricket since childhood. He joined Takashinga Cricket Club in Harare, where he took professional training and honed his fast bowling. His height was more than others from the beginning, which gave him advantage in bowling. His ball takes extra bounce, which causes trouble to the batsmen.

How educated are Muzarabani?

Muzarabani completed his early studies in Zimbabwe. However, there is not much public information available about his school or college degree. It is definitely said that after school, he focused his entire attention on cricket. He started playing domestic cricket at an early age, so his focus remained on making a professional cricket career.

Start of international career

Muzarabani made his international debut in a Test match against South Africa in December 2017. After this, he soon made a place in ODI and T20 formats also. Gradually he became the most reliable player of Zimbabwe’s bowling attack. His specialty is fast pace, long bowling spells, extra bounce and consistently correct line length. Muzarabani got a chance to play in T20 leagues around the world. In the IPL, he was included in the team by Royal Challengers Bangalore as a replacement for Lungi Ngidi, although he did not get many opportunities, yet the experience of franchise cricket proved to be very beneficial for him. This experience came in handy against a strong team like Australia.

Historic victory in T20 World Cup

In this match of T20 World Cup 2026, Zimbabwe, batting first, scored 169 runs. In reply, Australia was all out for 146 runs. Muzarabani won the match for Zimbabwe by taking the wickets of players like Josh Inglis, Tim David, Matthew Renshaw and Adam Zampa. This victory was also special because Australia has never been able to defeat Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup.

Zimbabwe team has been performing amazingly under the captaincy of Sikandar Raza. In the T20 World Cup 2026, Zimbabwe surprised Australia by defeating Australia by 23 runs. This is Zimbabwe’s second consecutive win in this World Cup and its hopes of going to the Super-8 have become stronger. Australian batting flopped badly and could not even play the full 20 overs. After all, due to which 3 reasons has Australia suffered this shocking defeat?

Top order batting failure

Batting first in this match, Zimbabwe scored 169 runs. When the Australian team came to bat, the Kangaroo team had lost 4 wickets till the score of 29 runs. Josh English scored 8 runs, captain Travis Head scored 17 runs, while Cameron Green and Tim David could not even open the account. Although Matt Renshaw scored 65 runs, he could not save the team from the failure of the top order.

Zimbabwe’s counter attack worked

Australia won the toss and chose to bowl first. Deciding to chase on the Colombo pitch was not an extraordinary decision. Had everything gone right, Australia would have won, but Brian Bennett and Tadivanashe Marumani were worthy of praise, who counter-attacked and gave their team a solid start and made an opening partnership of 61 runs. Ryan Burl also took advantage of the good start, who scored 35 runs.

no one took responsibility

After losing 4 wickets for 29 runs, the Australian innings was handled by Glenn Maxwell and Matt Renshaw. There was a partnership of 77 runs between the two, but Maxwell was out after scoring 31 runs in the 15th over. Renshaw had to take responsibility from here, while the next batsman Marcus Stoinis had a chance to shine. But what actually happened was that as soon as Maxwell left, wickets started falling rapidly and no batsman could take the responsibility.
